Silk party night

On Saturday 11th May some EuroGames volunteers joined one of the missions commissioned by the volunteer team of the organization: hunting high and low for further volunteers. The venue? Elephant, where the only-girls Silk Party is held once a month. Among elephant statues, palm trees, coloured silk curtains and an Alladin-tale-like atmosphere, we aimed to attract more girls who signed up to join the great sports event of the lesbian-gay-transexual-bisexual (LGTB) group.

Even though we know that not everyone is into sport, we have the feeling that many of you will be ready to make EuroGames the best excuse to make new friends from all over the world, and take part in various cultural events of the programme and, of course, also in the countless parties like Silk, which we’d love to see thrown time and again. So, let yourself flow and be enthused with the energy and euphoria of EuroGames volunteers; join the “extra-volunteers” list fronted by Salva and be part of this great team who seeks more volunteers to make the best diversity sports games happen!

Exit 10 and May 11 at the hostel "Santa Maria del Mar" in Coma-ruga.

On the weekend of May 10^th–11^th, 2008, a group of Eurogames volunteers made our way to the Santa Maria del Mar Youth Hostel (in Coma-Ruga, Tarragona) for a few days of fun.

We were looking forward to spending sunbathing and hanging out on the beach, but rain spoiled our plans. Far from letting the weather ruin our mood, we took advantage of the time to play cards and deepen our friendships.

In the afternoon we took our “umbrellas” for a stroll in the rain, and then stopped by La Jijonenca for a hot chocolate. At night we popped in one of the bars of the local gay scene –or at least, it became a gay bar when we got there! After a few drinks and “exotic” dances, we headed back to the hostel to go to sleep, just like good little boys should.

After Saturday Night Fever’s soundtrack (snores and other strange noises, LOL) we woke up to the beautiful sunshine: a perfect day for a trip. We visited a nice seaside town nearby, Roc de Sant Gaietà, and then returned to the hostel to eat and recap the weekend’s exploits. Finally, we grabbed our bags, hopped on the train and had a gay old time on the trip back to Barcelona.

Train excursion to Coma-ruga (Sant Vicenç de Calders) to Santa María del Mar Youth Hostel on 10th and 11th of May.

Volunteers big dinner to premiere the EuroGames Barcelona 08 extra-volunteers activities

The last Friday 28th of March, a group of 31 volunteers went to dinner to a little but cosy restaurant in the Gay-Eixample of Barcelona. A great moment to know each other and enjoy the night.



After dinner the party continued in a well known ambient club next to the restaurant, where the music makes us dance and laugh till 3 o’clock in the morning. Some volunteers continued dancing till the sunrise in another fashion discotheque in Barcelona.
