On Sunday 17 May another successful fundraising Garden Party. Party goers were treated to a South African style Braai (BBQ) along with other delicious savoury and salad dishes all prepared by members of the club. The deserts were also in abundance along with local wines and those from the Alentejo and Douro regions.

Music was provided by the ever-popular Jackson River. Jackson as usual entertained with every kind of music from opera to rock. Members danced the afternoon away with line dancing proving very popular.  A fun time was had by all and a total of 1500€ was raised in aid the RC Silves community programmes.

The President Pam Winn and event organiser Judy Falção thanked everybody who helped to make the day a success. They said “We could not support projects in the Silves community without the contributions at events from our Portuguese and International community”

RC Silves final event before the summer will be a music performance held at Teatro Mascarenhas Gregório in Silves on 13 June with well-known Brazilian artist, Touka Moura performing. Monies raised at this event will help fund the club’s education programmes. Information will be available soon.
