After a string of successful events, including a Royal Wedding party  and a Canada Day celebration the CanadaPLUS Club is introducing a goulash pub night for August., and planning  ahead for Thanksgiving.

The July 1 event attracted over 150 members of all nationalities including Canadian Ambassador Patricia Langan Torrell and UK Ambassador Michael (MJ) Holloway..

If your travels have taken you to Germany, you will almost certainly remember Goulash Suppa, which, with a hunk of rye bread is a tasty meal fit  for a king.

Fritz Schmutte, mein host  at the Rincon Aleman Restaurant on Calle 51, Panama, is going to replicate the experience for the CanadaPLUS Club  “Pub Night” on  Thursday August 11.

All will be welcome at a friendly get together for people of all nations starting at 7 p.m. with a two for one deal on Carlsberg lager. And if you want to sample some of the finest German beers, served by delectable  Panamanian frauleins this is the place.

 If you want to share in the  specially prepared Goulash dinner, it will cost you only $10, but if your taste buds aren’t yearning for this taste of good living, you can still  arrive, and get  the chance to meet friends, old and new and win some interesting prizes.
