Summer is here and it's bowling time again. Is it really a sport? Who cares! Come along, play a couple of games and have a few drinks at Queens. We have 2 lanes booked for 7.30pm on Thursday 18 May.

The Croatian Ambassador to the UK, HE Josko Paro, has invited CSYPN members and their guests to a reception at his residency in Hampstead on Thursday 22 December. This will be our 3rd visit to the Hampstead residency - proving that CSYPN is an important part of the Croatian-UK community, or that our members are behaving themselves, or both. 

Christmas approaches and of course your CSYPN Committee has prepared a treat for you. Christmas dinner is always the highlight of our social calendar and hopefully you will join us.

We have booked a ground floor of a beautiful, prestigious Turkish restaurant next to the British Museum for our next CSYPN event.

Istrian Wine Tasting

Eight leading wine producers from Istria will present their products and provide an opportunity to answer your questions.

Don Drago Berisic of the Croatian Catholic Mission will hold the Mass for the Croatian National Day. Afterwards, there will be a reception just few steps from the St. Augustine's Church. Do join us!

London's City Hall

This will (probably) be your once in a lifetime chance to go there, to a place optimistically called London's Living Room.

If you are staying in the UK/London you might join us for the Christmas Mass. Don Drago Berisic of the Croatian Catholic Mission has informed us that the Christmas Mass in Croatian will be held on Christmas Eve, on Friday, 24 December 2004 at 9.00pm at the Church of Sacred Heart. This is the traditional "Midnight Mass", but it will be held at 9.00pm.

We are delighted to announce that the Croatian Ambassador to London, His Excellency Josko Paro has invited CSYPN members to a reception for us at his residence in Hampstead on the 22 December. 

Christmas approaches and of course your CSYPN Committee has prepared a treat for you. Our Christmas dinner will be held on 11 December at Salvador's El Bodegon in fashionable Chelsea.

As you know, CSYPN demands only the best cuisine for its members. Salvador's El Bodegon is London's leading Spanish Brasserie and a superb set menu will be provided for us. The restaurant will be open only for our event.

Furthermore, if people wish to go on somewhere after the meal finishes then we are delighted to report that you won’t have to go far; there is a special downstairs bar and dance area to go on to, which is open to the public.

British Croatian Society (BCS) will be holding its annual dinner in the Grand Hall of the Battersea Arts Centre on Friday 26 November. Of course, you do not need to be a BCS member to come. 

After quite a successful walk in May, there was lots of interest for another one. This time we'll walk in an area south of Haslemere (border between Surrey and Sussex). It's designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

It doesn't look like it, but it's summer! And we have a jolly summer event for you to put into your diary as we're planning to go for a picnic in Hyde Park (weather permitting). 

We are returning to Spago's for a meal on Saturday, 3 July, to celebrate Croatian National Day. Many of you will remember our previous events at Spago's in South Kensington, and so will know that a great night awaits us.

Pips Chips & Videoclips are one of the most original and exciting bands on the Croatian music scene. Thematically provocative, visually attractive, always on the edge of things: they are the personification of a modern pop band.

We have yet another great event underway! We were inspired by your enthusiasm at the skating/pub event last week and decided to take you for another fun and energetic night out. This time it will be dancing to the rhythm of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Dance in one of London's most prestigious venues. 

Doesn't the time just fly? And before you know it, it's the end of January, and hopefully we'll all be getting that well-needed injection of money (these sales were just tooooooooo tempting for some). Hopefully everyone is back from their breaks and would like to join us at the next CSYPN event - Ice-skating.
