Amendoeira Golf Day Success
Amendoeira Golf Resort
15 June 2014 Charity Golf Tournament Amendoeira Golf Resort:
The golf day at the fabulous Amendoeira Golf Resort took place on the hottest day of the year so far, however, that did not prevent golfers of all abilities turning in some very good scores on the difficult Faldo course. Comments from golfers included “a great day for a good cause” as they tucked into a very nice lunch in the clubhouse after the game. Although with fewer numbers than expected a very respectable €1800 was raised to be used to help the Oncology Association of the Algarve with their cancer prevention programme. Grateful thanks to all who helped organise the event and those too who took part.
Looking forward to next year!

Coffee and Cake the Best Yet!

Mexican Train
Easy to Learn and fun to play. One of the most popular domino games played in the world today. We will be holding a Mexican Train event at the Holiday Inn on 3 February at 15:00. Each player plays a chain of dominoes called a train; they may also play on the common chain called the Mexican Train. The player with the lowest points score at the end of the game wins. There are many events along the way that block the trains and make for an exciting game. Bring friends and join visitors to the Holiday Inn for some fun. A minimum donation of €5 is requested for a Mobile Breast Screening Unit for Associação Oncológica do Algarve. Email: info.rotarysilves@gmail.com

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.
