Junior Room, Augustine Church, 21 George IV Bridge, Edimburg.
Benvolguts/des membres del casal,
La nova presidenta del Centre Català d’Escocia, Meritxell Ramirez us convida a assistir el proper dissabte 14 de gener un berenar per a commemorar la feina feta de l’antiga junta del CCE presidida per en Josep Saval i per a conèixer les cares que formen la nova junta. Serà també una bona oportunitat per assabentar-te de les activitats que el Casal prepara per aquest 2012. Fés una ullada al canal de noticies de la web del Casal per a tenir una primera ideia del què estem montant.
En Josep Saval viu a Escòcia des de 1999 i ha estat membre del CCE tan bon punt va
arribar. Ha estat durant 8 anys President del CCE. És professor del departament
d’estudis hispànics a la Universitat d’Edimburg i també està involucrat en comitès
de diverses associacions com l’Anglo Catalan Society i l’Associacio internacional
Manuel Vazquez Montalban. Li agrada la música i la lectura. Un dels seus somnis
hauria estat portar a la Montserrat Figueres i en Jordi Saval a Escòcia.
Vine a conèixer-nos el dissabte 14 De 17h -19h a
Junior Room, Augustine Church, 21 George IV Bridge, Edimburg.

Christmas Lunch and “CAGA TIÓ”
Saturday 3rd December, 12-3pm.
Location: Hopkirk building in the Botanics Gardens, West end of Glasgow. Metro stop Hillhead. The room in located behind the older green house.
Come and joint us in the traditional Christmas Lunch organised by the Scottish Catalan Centre. We will set up the Nativity scene, share lunch, the traditional ‘torrons’ and some ‘ratafia’. After lunch we will ‘cagar el Tio’
Please bring: A plate of food to be shared with everybody and a small present rapped with the name for the ‘Tio’. Here more information about this tradition:
The Tió de Nadal (roughly “Christmas Log”), also known as “Tió” (trunk or log, a big piece of cut wood) or “Tronc” (“log”) and popularly called “Caga tió” (pooping log in English), is a character in Catalan mythology relating to a Christmas tradition widespread in Catalunya.
The form of the tió de Nadal found in many Catalan homes during the holiday season is a hollow log of minimum thirty centimetres length. Recently, the tió has come to stand up on two or four little stick legs with a broad smiling face painted on the higher of the two ends, enhanced by a little red sock hat (a miniature of the traditional Catalan hat, “la barratina”) and often a three-dimensional nose.
One gives the tió a little bit to “eat” and “drink” every night and usually covers him with a little blanket so that he will not be cold at night. He needs to be always warm.
On Christmas day (el dia de Nadal) or, depending on the particular household, on Christmas Eve, one puts the tió partly into the fireplace and orders it to “poop” (the fire part of this tradition is no longer as widespread as it once was, since many modern homes do not have a fireplace). To make him “poop”, one beats him with sticks, while singing various songs of Tió de Nadal.
The tió does not drop larger objects, as those are brought by the Three Wise Men. It does leave candies, nuts and turrons. Depending on the part of Catalonia, it may also give out dried figs. What comes out of the tió is a communal rather than individual gift, shared by everyone present.
After hitting it softly with a stick during the song it is hit harder on the words “caga tió!”. Then somebody puts his hand under the blanket and takes a gift. The gift is opened and then the song begins again.

6 setembre 2011
Hola amics,
Crec que podria estar be començar a seguir a la selecció de futbol escocesa, que esta intentant classificar-se per jugar la propera eurocopa de futbol el proper any.
Avui juguem contra Lituània, un partit molt importat, ja que ens pot possar a dos punts de la classificació. De manera que estarem a dos punts a falta de dos partits de la classificació.

Today we play against Lithuania, a very important game because we can possa two points in the standings. So we need two points from two games inthe standings.
