NEWSLETTER No.8 of 2023/2024
Dear Member
Wine Tasting
The Branch wishes to announce a Protos Wine Tasting with pairing Tapas to be held at the Club Premises on Tuesday 26thMarch 2024 at 7pm. A representative from Bodegas Protos will be visiting Gibraltar and thanks to Saccone & Speed Ltd, we will have the opportunity of tasting some of their wines.
Bodegas Protos is a historic wine producer and precursor of the worldwide recognised fine wines of Ribera Del Duero. The tasting will consist of one White Wine, one Rose Wine and three Red Wines, all combined with their appropriate tapas. The representative from Bodegas Protos will guide us through the tasting of these amazing wines.
Spaces are limited and for just £20 per person, these will be sold out quickly. Members are allowed to bring one guest per member for the same price of £20. To reserve your seat or seats, please pay the full amount at the club. This will be treated on a first come first served basis. Please note that if by Friday 8th March 2024 there are still spaces available, the committee will offer these to other guests, so please react quickly to avoid disappointment.
30th Anniversary Dinner
As many of you know, the 30th Anniversary Dinner had to be cancelled due to the poor response of the membership.
The Committee feels proud of the 30 years we have been registered as an Official Branch of MUFC and the journey the Branch has travelled through these 30 years to find ourselves in the position our Branch sits today. We have amazing premises with great character, which were inaugurated by the best manager in the world, Sir Alex Ferguson. We also have great relationship with our colleagues at MUFC.
Therefore, the committee feels our Branch merits this Dinner to celebrate it’s 30th Anniversary and has rescheduled the same. Very soon you will receive a newsletter on this event with some changes to the original plans. The Committee would really appreciate a good response from membership on this occasion, showing gratitude for the hard work done and the journey we have all travelled together.
Committee Members
We need to inform you that David Bonfiglio elected as Membership & Ticketing Secretary at the AGM resigned from the committee on the 7th December 2023 and since then Jason Segovia, elected as Committee Member at the AGM, has undertaken the duties and responsibilities of the Membership & Ticketing Secretary. We wish to congratulate and thank Jason for the great job he is doing.
Also Duncan Infante elected as Secretary at the AGM resigned from the Committee on the 26th February 2024. At the moment we are sharing the duties and responsibilities of the Secretary role within the committee.
The Committee has created a Membership group in WhatsApp named Manchester United Supporters Gibraltar Branch, for ease of communication. You will only receive information about the Branch and MUFC if required but you will not be able to write in this group. Any queries may be asked to any Committee Member through email, mobile or their personal WhatsApp.
Thanks
THE COMMITTEE
