NOW SOME REALLY GOOD NEWS.

I'd like to report that I visited Peter Galloway today (5th. Sept.) and he is feeling much better and almost back to his old self.

He hopes to be home soon and says that he misses everyone and is looking forward to returning to the club and his job as librarian.

Our Trip to Italy

UPDATE 16th July

I am totally shocked and disappointed at how quickly EasyJet hiked up the price of our Milan flights once we started booking. For anyone unable to book at a sensible price on Friday 10th May it might be a good alternative to book the day before and stay overnight in Milan, I know that some people have already thought of this. Please feel free to message me if you need any help.

We are now ready to book flights for the Lake Maggiore holiday next May. Because the Monday flight is an evening flight, we have to change our departure date to Sunday 5th May with a return on Sunday 12th May. Departure from Malaga to Milan Malpensa at 10.10, departure from Milan to Malaga at 16.40. Please transfer 200 euros per person to ICE club Sabadell account as soon as possible as prices will rise if we don't book quickly.

ICE Bowlers

As we are now very low on attending bowlers and July and August hot weather is approaching, I am suspending bowling, from today 2nd. June, until mid September and then assessing whether we continue.

Those who are bowls club members can continue bowling by referring to the bowls club calendar that should be sent to you monthly, if this is not the case you need to speak to club committee.

Regards Terry Smith.
