NERJA International Club has announced a bumper programme of events for the next month, with plenty of exciting activities and opportunities to meet new people and learn more about other cultures.
The club is holding a quiz night in their clubhouse on Calle San Juan, 42 on Wednesday, March 15. Quizmaster Nick Miller will test guests’ knowledge with a fun quiz on a variety of general knowledge topics. The quiz will get underway from 7.30pm, teams will consist of four players, but can be made up on the evening.
The club has also organised a tapas tour on Tuesday, March 7 around four bars in the town and a ‘Taste of Ireland’ theme night which will take place on Friday, March 24.
The group are also appealing for new volunteers to support in organising and running events and activities as they are losing out on volunteers due to residency issues. Potential volunteers can speak to Pauline or Linda at the club or get in touch by email: clubinternacionaldenerja@outlook.com
