MAPA is a social club previously called ISCOM (International Social Club of Moriara) but on relocating to Benitachell the name was changed to MAPA (Marina Alta Pensionistas Association). We spoke to the Club Secretary regarding their activities: We have 134 members most of whom live in Spain but some come along only when they visit for 3 or 6 months of the year. We are mainly retired but also have younger members. We have been located at our new club premises for 16 months and have sole occupancy. It is a modern building with air con/central heating. We have a bar with reasonable prices. On Friday mornings light lunches or sandwiches from €1.50 upwards can be bought, we also have a mini quiz, a raffle and a version of Play Your Cards Right. On a Tuesday evening we play whist and on a Thursday evening we play crib. We can teach both of these games or offer refresher courses. We hold a quiz on the 1^st Saturday of each month with major prizes. During the course of the year we hold other events such as walking and driving treasure hunts, BBQ/boules evenings at Font Santa, Pub Nights with pool, darts, dominoes, carpet bowls and a fish and chip supper if required. We also hold occasional race evenings. We have recently hosted two quiz nights for the Red Cross, the club premises have been given free of charge and the club benefits from the receipts from the bar. We would consider similar offers from local groups or charities. A buffet style meal (at agreed price) could also be provided. Finally, we would like to extend a welcome to come along and see for yourself – membership is FREE for the month of August. Annual membership is from 1^st September. If you would like further information telephone 96 579 3612 or 96 649 0840. Hope to see you there.
