The charity dinner dance in aid of the Silves Bombeiros, which was held at the Clube de Tenis, Carvoeiro on Saturday April 16th,was well attended and raised €1,629.00. This amount was helped by Sheena Rawcliffe who acted as auctioneer, with a steady hammer and wonderful humour. Angela and Ray were grateful for the support of businesses and friends alike for their generous donations, and particularly to Ilze Van Zanten whose music made the evening so special. Everbody enjoyed the ambience at the Tennis Club and the tasty food of the “La Curacho” catering specialists.
We subsequently learned that Commandant Abel Gomes has decided to step down and hand over to António Domingos. Abel was a very effective leader who gave his full support and encouragement for the work of the charity, and we wish him every success in the future.
