BWA Monthly General Meetings 2006

The BWA hosts a General meeting at one of the hotels in Makati on a monthly basis. Jan Harris ably organises these meetings, inviting one or two speakers of general interest, vendors selling attractive goods, charities and of course our members for coffee and nibbles. This is a great opportunity to keep in touch with new friends, to learn something interesting and of course to buy the necessities - we have had some fantastic jewellery vendors this year! Just to give you an idea of what we get up to there are a few photos below provided by Paula Kelly. As always -Thanks Paula.


On November 13th we met at the Intercontinental Hotel in Makati. We were confined to a rather smaller space than usual so we were very cozy. However, Bruce Curran provided a fascinating illustrated talk which covered the beauty of the islands of the Philippines with stunning images. He introduced his first book and also his Banca Safari business, which you can read more about at the website www.bancasafaris.com
   
bruce curren talked to the bwa about the islands and his banca trips raffle prizes were great as usual we were crammed into a tiny room so the event was very cozy
Bruce's talk was enthusiastic, colourful and anecdotal. The raffle prizes gained some interest. Great to see so many of our members here today.
   
Marianne had a lucky day The wine tasting was interesting, especially for Linda who we can see here making a quick getaway with the remains We had an audience of about 40 members
It was Marianne's lucky day. Linda going home with the "dregs". See you all next time .
