Weekly Update Twelve
Hi and welcome to this week’s Weekly Update for a run down on everything that’s going on in ICS this week and more…
This week we are delighted to welcome another guest to help us keep our beautiful bodies in great shape! New member Ruth Hardy will be joining us at Hotel Salobreña Suites for some “Body Balance”. More details further down…
Thanks to George and Rose for taking through our Tai Chi Quiong moves last week. It is great to see so many of us joining in and centering our chi! We are happy to say that they will be with us again in May to take us even further on our chi journey!

Monday 7 April
As usual our Mah Jong Red Dragons will be getting together at Hotel Miba for more Mah Jong fun at 11 am. Newbies are always welcome to come along and see how it goes.
On Monday afternoon at 4:30pm our Ukulele Strumblies will be back to rehersals at Bar Amigos. We have just started a fantastic new set of songs so it’s a lot of fun. If you would like to come along and try playing, just let us know in advance and we can have a uke ready for you to try. If you would like to come along and join in the singing, that is fine too. Maybe you would like to come along to enjoy the practice!
We look forward to seeing you!

All at Hotel Salobreña Suites at 11am. This week we have arranged for the art group to be able to use a table indoors, either in the Games area next to the TV lounge or in a spare function room.

Wednesday 9 April
As we eluded to above, this week at Hotel Salobreña Suites at 11:30am we will have a visit from a new member, Ruth Hardy, who has kindly offered to take us through some moves beneficial to our body well being. Come along with a mat or large towel for some floor work on the lawn.
We will share Ruth’s bio on our website should you be interested in finding out more about how she could help you. Below is a summary of her plan for the session on Wednesday which is open to everyone and free.
Body Balance – Designed for all levels, ages, and abilities, this class is perfect for anyone looking to tone up, build strength and improve flexibility. We start with gentle core exercises to strengthen and tone the body, followed by slow, focused work and deep stretching, tailored to individual needs. This unique session blends the core-strengthening power of Pilates with the flowing movements of Body Balance, designed to tone, strengthen, and improve posture while moving with intention and ease.

Nothing Today!
Friday 11 April
At the time of writing this we don’t know whether the Petanca Pitches in Park El Fuente next to Dia Super Market in Salobreña will be match fit. If not we will be back on the two pitches opposite the Casa Roja. We will let you know for sure what is happening. If we are opposite the Casa Roja then we are limited to 24 players so will have to coordinate exact numbers beforehand again. Wherever we are we will need to be there for 10:15am to be sure of getting allocated a team. Play starts at 10:30am. We will of course send a message out on the day if the weather is unkind and we cancel. If you would like adding to our WhatsApp Broadcast list for Petancas please do let us know.

Alpujarras Trip Wednesday 23 April
Our next trip sold out in less than a day. We have now managed to secure a second coach and have been recording interest to ensure we have sufficient numbers to make a second coach viable. It now looks like we do so we will be writing out asking for bookings and payment later today. At the time of writing it looks like we will have eight seats available if you would like to be included but haven’t yet let us know.
Travel Sharing – Facebook ICS Member’s Group Car Sharing Chat Now live!
So we have now introduced a chat option for members of our ICS Member’s Group. If you have space for other members you can go on and let them know so they can get in touch. If you are looking for a lift you can go in and ask. Don’t forget to mention which activity / event / meeting and from where the lift is needed. But to use this you need to be in our Facebook ICS Member’s Group.
Easter Wednesday Celebration
Don’t forget that on Wednesday 16 April we are hosting our Easter Celebration Fun day! We are looking for volunteer cake bakers for Kitty Angels Charity Bake sale being run by Lesley. If you have a donation for the raffle too that would be great. We have our fun and Creative Easter Bonnet Competition and our Easter Green Screen Photo opportunity too!
Have you paid your membership subs?
We do still have a few members who have not yet paid their membership subscription for 2025 and we will be writing out to remind you if you are one of those members. Don’t forget that it is easier than ever these days to pay your subscription, and you can even automate the payment annually! If you have any queries, then please do let us know.
ICS Discussion Group again on Monday 14 April at Hotel Salobreña Suite. Make a note in your diary.
Thanks
Your ICS Committee
