Post-Summer Schedule
New events format starting from September
A New Start
As community organisers, we are working to improve our events.
Adding more variety is a must-reach goal for the upcoming autumn season starting in September.
As Summer 2022 is reaching its peak in August, we are already collecting ideas for the upcoming season.
Social gatherings will still occur on a weekly basis, as well as our monthly trips and excursions, but we also want to include: hikes, cultural events, sporty gatherings (padel, volleyball and boxing), and bachata classes & dancing nights and so on.
All this will possibly be scheduled in advance and published here!
Stay tuned!
