Happy New Year from Bob and all at Welcome Group. I hope you had a good Christmas and are looking forward to 2012. Isn't time going so fast! It seems only five minutes ago that it was New Year 2011! Soon it will be summer again, and when that's over, it won't be long to next Christmas! They say that as you get older the time goes by quicker, and it certainly seems to be true.
Our November Dance saw for the first time in this area the delectable Samantha Curtis, and from Benidorm, Rob Sweeney; two first-class singers who soon had everybody dancing and singing along.
December 7th was Ladies' Day; two coach loads of ladies off to Benidorm for their annual day out. Some went to the open market, some to the shops in the town, others just mooched around. There was the Rich Bitch show in the afternoon or more shopping for those that didn't go. Well done to Marj Drummond who won the Christmas Quiz on Pat's coach, and to Fran who won on Rosemary's coach, and, no, it was nothing to do with me, promise
 While at the Rich Bitch, Rosemary persuaded Gary to take the show on tour outside Benidorm for the first time. They will be appearing at Mariano's Restaurant, Camposol, on March 27th. At just 10€ this promises to be a good night for men and women. Tickets available from January meeting.
 December 14th was the Christmas Party Night with the ladies' favourite, the big man with the big voice, Nick Gold, and the ever-popular Showaddywaddy Legends. Mince pies, party hats, crackers, everyone dancing and getting into the mood for the big day itself. Another cracking night and well done to all involved. Rosemary thanked her army of helpers, not just for their efforts on the day, but for all the hard work they've put in throughout the year. Without this help, these events could not take place.
Tickets available are for the Games Night on January 11th at just €3. Beetle drive, bingo and quiz – it's always good fun, so why not come along.
The January Dance on 18th features The Saviours Of Soul; 3 very talented artistes. Not just soul music, but the usual mix of the songs we all enjoy. Tickets are €9 and €5 for pork escalope and chips.
Tickets for St Valentine's Night on February 14th are just €10 and €5 for food. Artistes that night are, new to Welcome; the talented Dan Davy and the lovely Lorna Michelle, so it promises to be another great night out.
Two coaches are going to the Races at Mijas from February 25th to 27th, staying at the 4-star Hotel Triton in Benalmadena on half-board basis. The cost is €145 per person. Just 3 rooms left.
The next Welcome Meeting is on January 7th when tickets will be on sale for the Ladies' Evening on 7th March at €3, March Dance on 14th at €9, the Annual Treasure Hunt on March 25th at €7, and previously advertised events where available.
The Book/Jigsaw Swap Club starts again on January 10th and then as normal every two weeks. It is held at the ICA Clinic on Sector B along the dual-carriageway leading to the rambla. Further details from Jo on 669457985.
Fun Petanca is held at Mariano's, Camposol on the last Wednesday of each month at 1.00pm, or the following Wednesday in the case of bad weather. Call Les on 968131880 for more details.
Welcome is open to everybody. There is no membership – just come along and meet friends old and new. For more details and tickets sales, call Rosemary on 620105179, or email
