INTERNATIONAL NEWCOMERS MADRID

Monthly Meetings

Each month, from September to June, INC scouts out interesting and often highly original activities for our members. We take you to unique places that perhaps you didn’t know existed (even if you’re a very long-term Madrid resident as some of our members are!) or wouldn’t have access to on your own. Either way we make it our mission to introduce you to the rich cultural diversity that Madrid and Spain has to offer.

Previous examples have included a private tour of the Sorolla Museum with the painter’s grand-daughter, a morning with whacky fashionista Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, and a full on dancing experience with all of the participants.

If you have a venue or theme you’d like us to explore, please contact our Vice President Team at monthlymeetings@incmadrid.org

Coffee Mornings

One of the unique features of our club is that whilst we come together as a larger group at our Monthly Meetings, on a monthly basis we also hold Area Coffee Mornings for smaller groups in the area of Madrid local to you. Our members really cherish this opportunity to get to know the members close to where they live and thus seeing lots of familiar faces at the larger Monthly Meetings. It is also really helpful to meet your fellow area members face to face, to exchange useful tips and information that is local to you. As an INC member, you are welcome to attend any coffee morning in any of the areas, in addition to your own.

Please remember that it is very important that you RSVP to the host or area contact, whoever is listed on the announcement of the Coffee Morning. Your hostess provides coffee, tea and juice and you are requested to bring a sweet or a savory dish to share with 10 people.

We welcome guests and any prospective members to any of our Area Coffee Mornings.

For further information and RSVP please contact your Area Contact.

INC Activities

In addition to our Monthly Meetings and Area Coffee Mornings we regularly organize a wide variety of events including social gatherings, gastronomic experiences, cultural events, health and wellness activities, book clubs and excursions around Madrid and Spain. These events require a RSVPs as they may have a limited capacity to make sure that we can offer a high quality experience to all the participants. We operate on a first come, first serve basis.
The INC activities are advertised on the INC website calendar as well as in the weekly E-news bulletin that is being sent to members by email.

Recent activities have included visits to Casa Decor, museum exhibitions, a flower bouquets workshop, mountain walks, yoga sessions, guided city walks, craft workshops, the Manolo Blahnik exhibition and evening wine and tapas with spouses at the local wine bars or at home.

Do please contact our team if you have ideas that we can adopt at: activities@incmadrid.org

Member Activities

Our diverse multi-cultural members are a huge asset to INC, and as such, INC members are able to tap into an enormous wealth of talent and interests in the most diverse topics. As a membership benefit, any member can promote a workshop/course/event as part of their business or decide to organise a spectacular party out of pure fun and interest.
The Member Activities can be advertised via the weekly E-news bulletin and via the Area Chat groups but they will not appear in the INC calendar.These events are often associated with a cost and RSVPs and communication will be handled directly by the member who is in charge of the particular activity.
Past events have included craft workshops, a Brasilian Carnival Evening, a Bollywood Night and meditations events.
