This week’s edition by: David

Ok guys, it’s another week and another edition of the Speedo. This is my first of the new year, so Happy new Year to you all and hope that it brings whatever your hearts desire!
We’ll have the usual news, reviews and previews and a little something to keep you distracted when you’ve had too much Callan! Read on!

EVENTS LAST WEEK

Kel’s lecture on Australian nature went down a storm with the three students that attended. However, they kind of hijacked it and turned it into a lecture on how to get to Australia and what to do when you are there. Well done guys!

The monthly Kids Club also went well, with five children attending for the usual fun and games. This wasn’t just a walk in the park though, with the kid’s practising their English with food and numbers!

Gosia’s Travel Club was another success, with a few students attending to discuss all aspects of travel, and to talk about where in the world people had been. I wish I had been there, all this talk of seeing the world makes me want to go and see what all the fuss is about! I find myself watching my only English TV channel (the Travel Channel) even more now!

EVENTS THIS WEEK

This week sees three different clubs, the first Hugh and Caroline’s Intermediate Conversation Club. This takes place at the Totu Café, on Wyszynskiego Street, at 7.30pm tonight, Monday 29th. Thursday night (1st Feb) sees Sean host the Advanced Conversation Club at 7.30pm, and Friday (2nd Feb) sees Brian and myself host Rock Climbing Club. If you want to attend any of these clubs, then sign up with the secretaries! See you there!
