Convention Convenor's Update 

23rd March 2025

Dear Fellow AA Members,

Firstly, hoping that I find you all well and have had a great start to 2025. All in the joys of fellowship, Sobriety and of Serenity. We felt it a good idea at this time to bring you up to date with how our Mallorca AA International Convention 2025 plans are progressing.

The first thing to note is that the bookings for our convention venue, the Pollensa Park Hotel, have gone extremely well and in 106 rooms sold out within only a few weeks of being offered on this site.

The hotel has now made available to us 10 of their luxury apartments which are situated just a short walk from the main hotel building. The apartments sleep two adults at a cost and are available at a reduced cost of 115€ per apartment per night.

The hotel has also offered the several options  to dine at the hotel whilst staying in the apartments:

Breakfast @ 10 euros Half board @ 20 euros All inclusive @ 42 euros

These apartments are  on a first come first served basis and if you would wish to book please fill in a booking form on our Accomodation page.

As our plans progress over the coming months we hope to take up the many offers of service from those planning to attend our event this October. There are many areas of the convention where we would greatly appreciate your service and participation. These areas for service range from meetings secretaries/chairs, meeting areas arrangers, hall stewards, yoga and meditation instructors, fun activities & quiz stewards and meetings time keepers.

We have a number of our home group members who will act as service coordinators and the idea is that those wishing to offer service could work alongside our coordinators to ensure the smooth running of our event.

Our two main convention service secretaries are Alex M whom you might remember from last year and he will have Jennifer working alongside him. They will be the first point of contact to discuss with you which area of service you would wish to assist with. When this has been established they can then introduce you to the service area coordinator who can talk through the duties required and then add you to their specific area service WhatsApp communication group. If you would like to offer your service at this year's convention please, in the first instance could you contact either Alex or Jennifer anytime from the first of June ‘25 at the following email address:- aa.mallorca.service@gmail.com. They will reply to you directly and discuss the service program and positions needing to be filled, your service would be most greatly appreciated.

The convention itinerary is being worked on at the moment but will follow much the same lines as our two previous conventions of which proved most successful. We will as before make small tweaks to the programme of activities based on the great suggestions made by our visitors from last year. The main focus of our itinerary is to offer as many AA topical meetings and workshops as is possible throughout the convention, as well as engage in fun activities which include such things as quizzes , dances, games and musical get togethers all aimed at promoting our AA unity, wonderful fellowship and adding to your overall convention experience.

Also, we are pleased to confirm that both Al-Anon and the ACA fellowships will again be participating at our convention this year and they will both have a separate desk based on the hotel ground floor where you can obtain information on their meetings and activities.

As previously, we will over the coming months be adding further information to this site which hopefully you will find useful and can assist you in your planning both with travelling to Puerto Pollensa and throughout your stay at the Mallorca AA International Convention 2025.

However, should you have any specific queries regarding the convention please contact us at aaconventionmallorca@gmail.com.

If your enquiry is of more immediate urgency please, call any of the following numbers :

Dennis  :  0034 626 173 744

Stewart :  0034 665 955 067

Finally, may I add that all of the Mallorca AA fellows are very much looking forward to having you back with us for another wonderful event and welcoming you to our beautiful island.

In the meantime, we send you our best wishes and as always,

Yours in Fellowship and Friendship,

Welcome to our Convention 2025 Website

14th November 2024

Dear fellow AA members,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to visit our 2025 convention site and we hope to find you all well.

Having now concluded the final business of our most recent convention we are now turning our thoughts to next years event. However, before we do that may we take this opportunity to thank all those who attended our 2024 convention at the Pollensa Park hotel and who contributed so much to making it such a great success.

Also, to those of our island groups who participated in the organisation of our event and whom served on our committee as well as those, both from the island and our visitors who gave so much service at our meetings and other activities. That great service included everything from acting as meeting secretaries, sharing at various topic AA meetings , rooms & garden areas set up, adjudicating the fun quizzes, stewarding the outdoor fun activities, taking the yoga, meditation, exercise and the breath work sessions, arranging our disco, organising the sing song nights and, with many of the other duties required to ensure that the convention was conducted as smoothly as it was. We thank you all most sincerely and it was so greatly appreciated.

May we also take this opportunity to thank our friends from both Al-Anon and the ACA for their presence and participation at our convention. It was very much appreciated and we hope that both fellowships will join us again at our Mallorca AA 2025 event.

As you are aware we generated an amount of funds through our registration fees as well as with our great convention raffle. We felt it important to inform you that our committee is currently discussing the best ways in which to use the monies raised, with the priority being of fulfilling our fifth tradition, that of carrying the message to where it may help the still suffering Alcoholic. With specific focus for its use here on the island of Mallorca. The monies used will be the remaining balance after covering our convention expenses and, holding a prudent reserve for next years event.

Now we turn our thoughts to our 2025 convention and confirm the dates as from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th October and again the venue will be the Pollensa Park Hotel, Puerto Pollensa.

The hotel are most pleased that we shall be returning for a third time and very much look forward to welcoming you all back to sunny Mallorca.

This initial notice is both to confirm next years event and to make you aware of the hotel bookings process which this year is being handled by our Mallorca AA convention committee administration.

There will as before, be much more information placed onto this site in the coming months all of which will hopefully help the planning of your visit to the 2025 convention.

With regards to the reserving of rooms for our convention next year can we again make you aware that our convention committee will be administrating the bookings on behalf of the hotel and you will find on this sites menu page the facility to view thedetails of the various rooms made available as well as, the special convention rates afforded us by the hotel management.

These rooms are offered on a first come first served basis and once we have taken your booking the Pollensa Park hotel will contact you directly to arrange your initial deposit and any outstanding balance.

On completing the required reservation details on this site you will receive a reply confirming your booking.When you open the accommodation page on this site the full details of the booking procedure will be explained more fully and the facility to reserve your room will be available for your use.

It is also our intention to offer a page facility on this site where you can make any comments regarding your experiences at our most recent convention and, if you would wish to send any appropriate photos they would both be gratefully received.

Finally, we very much hope that you will join us at our convention in 2025 and again be part of our many meetings, great AA activities and of course , the wonderful demonstration of global AA fellowship.

In the meantime, we send you our kindest regards and our best wishes for a wonderful end to 2024 and, for a fantastic new year in 2025.

As always, Yours in fellowship and friendship,

Dennis
