God Save Our Leaking Roof 16 April 2014:
Guests
Silves Sul Student
This delightful revue written and directed by club member David Butler Cole was full of comedy and music. The Gala Night was supported by the Silves Rotary Club and guests enjoyed drinks and canapés prior to the performance. 100 guests gathered at the Teatro Mascarenhas Gregório in Silves and enjoyed an evening of laughter and fun. Guests also had an opportunity to view paintings and art by BJ Boulter and David Trubshaw. The students of Silves Sul served the guests with their usual style, making the evening one to remember. The Gala night raised €1522. The money raised goes to Castelo de Sonhos, one of our favourite beneficiaries.

Essential items for Castelo dos Sonhos
In the New Year, Alan and David Butler Cole spent a hectic morning at Lidl’s supermarket taking advantage of offers on essential items which the poor of the community lacked. The money you have donated so far this rotary year was stretched to its limits to purchase some of the basic items such as milk, olive oil, tinned sausages and juice and much more so urgently needed. Thanks to everybody who donated through coffee mornings and other events.
Your help is still needed, if you are tidying out for spring then bear us in mind as old clothes, duvets, towels and blankets are always welcome!
Cake Glorious Cake
The Rotary Club of Silves Coffee & Cake morning at the home of Felicity Thoet in Alvor on 15 January was a resounding success. Thirty people enjoyed coffee and cake donated by Rotarians and friends with many purchasing the remainder to take home for tea. It was a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. With donations, cake purchases and a cheeky game of Heads and Tails, €250 euros was raised in aid of Castelo dos Sonhos. Thanks must go to Felicity for the use of her home and to all the cake bakers who made this event possible.
More Coffee and Cake Mornings are planned.
Watch this space for further information.

Christmas Walk
Christmas Walk 2013
Walkers gathered at Paderne to enjoy a lovely walk in the sunshine. A wonderful way to start the festive season joining with friends in stroll around our beautiful Portuguese countryside whilst supporting charities in Loulé and Silves who do an amazing job collecting and distributing food around the needy of the Algarve.
The walk was a gentle 6kms in length on tarmac roads, tracks and paths. During the walk we visited, Paderne’s Moorish Castle on its promontory overlooking the Ribeira de Quarteira together with an ancient Roman bridge, the remains of a water mill and a well preserved bee-hive faggot oven. The walk started at the Public Laundry “Antigo Lavadouro Publico Paderne”and was followed by a traditional Portuguese lunch at Paraiso do Algarve.
Walkers suggested to get together again in the Spring when the spring flowers and orchids will be at their best.
