JULY 2016
Dear Members,
The Summer Party over, plasters applied to feet and suitable amounts of Paracetamol
administered the morning after, we can report that the event was a great success.
One slight problem was that the splendidly produced Menus for the tables – were forgotten by
your secretary (me) to collect – however I have now posted them on the Vecinos noticeboard
at the Buzones…….to remind those who came what they ate, and for those who were unable
to make it this year to see what they missed. The food and ambience was tremendous and a
wonderful turnout of 105 members and guests made it a thoroughly enjoyable event – and
the “Surprise Lottery” with 3 prizes donated by the Restaurant at Don Cayo of 2 bottles of
lovely wine and a first prize of a Meal for 2 at the restaurant, won by new members this year,
Peter Risdale and Miriam Blok was an added bonus. Perhaps we can spread the word and get
more Neighbour’s to attend next year??
If you enjoyed the music sufficiently, then I am available for hire for Birthdays, Anniversaries,
Bah Mitzvah’s , Bat Mitzvah’s or any ceremony public or private…please just get in touch…that
is if I am still here and haven’t been voted out by my fellow countrymen, who I can only
apologise for in the circumstances with Brexit….!!!!!
Terry Miles our Web Master and Photographer has taken some great photos and when he has
some time will put them on the Web page www.avsavecinos.tigbos.com so please take a look
in the next few days. Full of updated information on the area and what is happening it is
always worth checking up on current events.
Talking of which – summer has arrived and with the higher temperatures there is a need for
more care. Please use at all times an appropriate Factor Sun Cream, if not on your
accustomed bodies, then for your guests or youngsters visiting. Skin Cancer is on the
increase everywhere and we know it is caused a lot by the sun’s harmful rays so please be
very careful.
Secondly, there are more visitors in the area now which sadly brings in the un-invited
elements into our community also. Please be vigilant and if you see something strange
happening or someone who doesn’t quite fit into the area – ring 112 straightway…the Police
generally would rather be called out on a wasted journey than to have a house or several
houses broken into.
Thirdly, we have had no rain……my regular morning Rain Dances (which have also created
some neighbourly interest!!) haven’t worked and we are dreadfully low on water reserves in
the whole area. Please be careful when using water with everything and so not let taps drip or
run and over water anything…. Not only is this a water problem but also a fire risk and should
you see any problems in of the roads or countryside then please take it upon yourself to call
Apobersa on 965 84 61 99 or out of hours on 676 980 909 for water problems and 112 for
the Fire Service (Bomberos) All details can be found on the AVASAVECINOS website.
On behalf of the Committee, I wish you a very pleasant happy and safe Holiday Season and
Look forward to seeing you ALL at the AGM full details of which I will post to you soon.
Best Regards
Matthew King
Secretary
