Start improving your chosen foreign language in September...

Dear Invasion Members,

September has arrived!

September is always a good time to start something new. The Spanish Invasion has been created to enable everyone involved to improve their language skills by discovering new approaches to learning English and Spanish.

Our group meetings will give you the encouragement you need to develop your language skills, as we understand that it can be difficult to motivate yourself whilst learning a language.

As mentioned in our last news letter we would like to organise an event which will involve all our members. We are looking into organising an 'open mic' evening, to give members the opportunity to sing, read poetry, play some music, etc... Any members who would be interested in performing in front of a lovely crowed of people, please contact me. We are still looking for a venue to host this event, once we have a small line up and a date for the event to take place, I will send out the details.

Events taking place from the 4th - 30th September.

Eddie and Arantxa host the Cornerstone event, and I host the Sidewinder and the Guarana bar events! There will be occassions when we won't be able to attend the events due to other commitments. With this in mind, if there are any members who are interested in joining our team and would like to host a night, please let me know.All our meeting Spots below...If you are interested in joining the group its Free to all! The more people who join us, the more discounts will be on offer!!
