Annual General Meeting followed by a talk by Brian Powell

"CATALUNYA: PART OF SPAIN?"
It was 300 years on 11th September since the loss of Catalunya's liberties following the siege of Barcelona at the end of the War of Spanish Succession. To commemorate this major anniversary, we have a "round table" event with a panel including local Catalan people discussing Catalan history and identity, and the aspirations of many in Catalunya for independence from Spain.

Wednesday 18th February 2015
Vamos a jugar! (a juegos no prohibidos).  Come and play bingo, I-spy and other silly games, in Spanish, in the back room at the King William IV pub, Hallgate, Cottingham.  An ideal opportunity to use some simple Spanish in a relaxed setting with a pint or a glass of wine to hand.  (P.S.: The Spanish for bingo is …”bingo”.)
 
Tuesday 17th March 2015
Karla Ortega:  an illustrated talk on "The folk art of the Zapotec people: alebrijes, silk and mezcal".  A not-to-be-missed opportunity to know more about the Zapotec people of southern México (mainly Oaxaca), and their highly colourful folk art.
 
Saturday 18th April 2015
The food of Sevilla: an evening of tapas sampling, organised by our member and expert cocinero Juan Manuel Horta.  (Note: this is not a full meal.) 
 

Sunday 5th July 2015
"Domingo de Tapas"

This year's "Domingo de tapas" will be at the new 1884 Wine and Tapas Bar, Freedom Quay, Wellington Street West, Hull.  

The location - alongside the marina - is superb, and so is the food.
