Welcome
Welcome to the second INCO Members’ Magazine. We’ve taken a look at some of the events of 2024 and given members a look at what we’re currently planning for 2025.
This edition is also shining the spotlight on some of the free to join groups started and run by INCO members.
If you have an idea for a group in your area, we will be happy to assist you in setting it up on our website.
As ever, INCO belongs to you, the members so if you have any ideas or want to get involved, please send an email to
If you are not already a member and would like to join INCO please click here.

Looking Back on 2024

In May, we set up a new coffee morning at Café Porfyra, El Greco Hotel in Ierapetra. New and existing members voted to hold coffee mornings on the last Sunday of the month and the group is still going strong and attracting new members. They held a Christmas lunch in December which was attended by over 20 members. |

In the pipeline for 2025
So far, we have had an initial planning meeting to look at possible ideas to keep members active and hopefully amused during the first half of 2025.
February – We’re hoping to hold a Scavenger hunt in Agios Nikolaos which should be suitable for all members. Teams will be given a list of odd or unusual items to find and photograph in a specified timescale. This will take place in Agios Nikolaos and on foot.
There will be a small fee to enter with all proceeds going to the INCO fundraiser of 2025, which we will announce as soon as we have more details.
April- We will be holding our INCO Easter Bonanza on Tuesday 15th April. Prizes will be awarded for the best Easter Bonnets, and decorated eggs, be they crafted, knitted, crocheted, painted, photographed or baked. Something for all the INCO groups to get involved in. There will be a free light buffet and fun prizes. More details to follow.
Excursions and Trips Away
Following the success of the visit to Jordan quite a while ago, it was requested that a trip to Egypt be considered, and this was something we were actively researching – until the Middle East crisis occurred and the British FCO recommended that their citizens do not visit Egypt. This is now on the back burner, but we could investigate other cultural places to visit – perhaps other parts of Greece or Europe?
INCO Groups
Members have set up a number of diverse interest groups in different locations and all are totally FREE to join. You can go to every meeting (and many do) or dip in and out when you have the time.
Joining a group is easy. Just log onto the INCO website. Click into GROUPS and see what’s on offer. If you want to receive more information, just tick the JOIN box. It’s easy. You’ll only receive emails about groups you’re a member of and you can opt out at any time. Read below for more information on some of the groups in your area.

Easy Lemon Curd
Eggs are expensive and not everyone has time to use the yolks to make lemon curd, then whip up the whites to bake meringues.
This is an easy microwave recipe that uses whole eggs and takes minutes.
