Our normal walking programme is from October to May, and we take a break during the hotter summer months. However last year we offered a shorter summer walk each week during June and September. They proved popular and we are doing the same again this year.

Jacintha held a stretching session at El Cid on the Monday before Christmas.

She raised €160 which she donated to the Goodwill Team.

These funds will be presented to nominated charities later in the year.

The Goodwill Team made three presentations to worthy causes at the end of 2020.

Both the Monday Ramblers and Thursday Explorers closed down at the start of the coronavirus lockdown in March. In September they started weekly summer walks, three-hour low-level walks starting at 0900 and ending at a suitable bar before the hottest part of the day. They were offered to both of Paul & Jan’s groups, and they got sufficient support to keep them going all month.

After the last-minute cancellation of their August gig at Los Arcos, due to Covid restrictions, The Entertainers finally managed to perform to a socially distanced audience of some 130 people in the garden of Los Arcos on Wednesday 30th September.

Due to arrangements at El Cid the November and December General Assemblies will be held on the first Wednesday of the month.

We hope that these changes will not be too inconvenient for members and when we return to normal, we will review the situation.
