Marbella VT Meeting, 5th to 7th May
Posted: Fri April 21, 2006 02:03 PM UTC
I´m sure most people are aware of the meeting by now (and probably fed up of hearing about it), but we discovered a couple of people yesterday, who had still not heard about it and would liked to have come along.

I´m posting this just to see if we can pick up anymore members who would be keen to attend, but had not yet heard about it. For the rest I´m sorry if we are boring you :o)

If you are interested, let us know as soon as possible, we are just about finalised on the planning for the weekend and really need to have a final number of heads.

If you are planning to attend and have not answered the recent E-mail about what dinners you will attend, please do so ASAP. The restaurants need a number of attendees at the end of this week.

Many Thanks
Carmen (Carmela71) and Stace (Beach_dog)

OK Stace, why r u needlessly trying so hard to be that 21st C guy who believes in sharing the workload??

It's best to do what the Spanish are 'famed' to do best... the guys laze by the beach all day (or having a siesta), and the dutiful 'better half' does all the running around!!!

Always works, and with pin-point precision!!!

Updates:
Just found out that from the 4th to the 14th of May, Marbella has its Annual Jazz Festival. There will be Jazz bands playing around the streets at various times. We just added information to an album on the Euromeet2006 homepage.

Also the menus for the meals, members that have confirmed assistance will receive in the next hours and email with the prices and I will need confirmation of menu’s options

Hi Myfanwe,

If you go to the meetings and events calender link at the top of the page, you can add yourself as an attendee. We will send you all the information then from the Euromeet page. Euromeet is myself and my partner Carmen.

Dont worry about the meeting, they are a great crowd of people. You can see who is listed as going to the meeting in the calender and you will be able to visit their pages. I myself am from Barry, very close to you, but I live in Marbella now.

Glad you are joining us :o)

Hi Vicky, You are very welcome! If you prefer to meet some of us on the previous days, let me know :-) So I can email you details adn contact phones, maybe is easier to meet first a little group instead of all at the same time! :-)

Another Welsh!! Stacy you are not alone!

Thank you very much, you've both made me feel very welcome, I can't believe Stace is from Barry - it's a small world eh!
If you're out and about before the weekend let me know as you said it'll be less daunting to get to know a small group first. If not I'll see you on the 6th.

Diolch Yn fawr

Hola !!

I just took a look at the guest list for the Marbella Meet. HOLY SMOKES! That's a whole lotta people !!

You guys are doing a FANTASTIC job at all this planning! A VT party in one of the world's most gorgeous 'playgrounds'.....it doesn't get any better than that! ;-))

I was doing some research on Marbella nightlife and came across this place:

http://www.discoinfernopuertobanus.com/

Sounds like a funky good time !! Do you know anything about this place?

How about we gather the crowd and 'hustle' on down there after the Friday night dinner? Is it an easy cab ride away from where we are having dinner?

C'mon Stace! You can finally show the VT world why you've coveted the "King of the Funky Chicken Award" for decades! ;-)))

Looking forward to meeting everyone!!

G_G

Well done, Rochelle, you know more about it than me. I have been looking for Salsa classes it took me a month to find the local school. Not enrolled yet, I wonder how many classes I can squeeze in before next week. The good news is, my ex-Salsa teacher (Carmen's best friend) will be coming to the meeting. Ex - because I kept stepping on her toes.
