Girona Grapevine

This is a very important message.  It will be changed on the website asap.  It has been decided that the venue for the Grapevine meeting will now be changed.   We will no longer meet at Pati Verd, Hotel Carlymany.The meeting will be from approximately 11am – 1.30 at the Restaurant/Cafe, LA FARINERA.  This is because there are many more English speakers who work in this area (El Punt/Escolar Official/Catalonia Today) and they want to come to the meetings but the Carlymany is too far to go.  I think the Carlymany was originally chosen because it was non-smoking but now everywhere is.   Also, it’s nearer to the bus/train station.  They also do very reasonable, good menus and have a very pretty outdoor terrace so we could combine the two sometimes when we do lunches.  It would also help me and Peter as it’s nearer to our home and make life a little easier, ensure we can be there more often. So, if you have any thoughts on this, please let me know. The numbers are down that attend the coffee mornings so in this way we could boost the attendance, which is very important.   You can look up the location on Google.  It’s behind the wonderful architecture of the original flower market.  Many of us know this place very well and the staff and lovely, efficient and friendly.  FYI, we still have our lunch & guest speaker planned at Cafe Migdia on 23 March but if you want to come for coffee earlier then please come to La Farinera and we can walk to Migdia together.  If you know members that do not have email or monitor them very often, please kindly pass this news on.  This way you can meet more people and be generally assured of a welcome!  Anyone who is there will look out for people who come into the restaurant but we try to make ourselves as obvious as possible!   So, don’t go to the Carlymany, come to La Farinera.  We look forward to seeing you!
