New group in Alhaurín

A new Knit and Natter group has been formed in Alhaurín el Grande. They meet the last Friday of every month at the Alhaurín Golf Hotel. It is run by Monique Mansfield and anyone wishing to join can contact her on: themansfield2005@yahoo.co.uk

The group started up this spring and new members are welcome.

The Knit and Natter group still meets every Monday and Wednesday morning, between the hours of 10am and 1pm, in the Gelato y Mare Café on the paseo maritime in Los Boliches. Anyone is welcome to attend, even if they do not knit and prefer just to natter.

The group's next hand over of garments will take place at the Lux Mundi centre in Fuengirola on Wednesday 22 November.

They group is always in need of wool so any donations are most welcome. Email: knit-n-natter@outlook.com .

Age Concern

Keeping up-to-date

Volunteers and supporters of Age Concern got together on Wednesday last week for a lunch at Alfonso's, Estepona, where they socialised and discussed the work done to help older people in the community.

One of the issues discussed was the shop in Calle Zaragoza which has seen sales and donations hindered by roadworks.

Age Concern will be running a stand at both the Adana Christmas Fair on November 19th and the Church fair on November 25th, both in the Palacio de Congresos, Estepona. Older people who require help or advice are invited to contact Age Concern's Lifeline telephone service 650163928 or email acesteponaymanilva@ageconcern-espana.org

Royal British Legion

Nerja branch goes walking

Members of the Nerja branch of the Royal British Legion took part in their annual Poppy Walk on Sunday. Walk went from the hotel Andalus to El Puente Restaurant via the Balcón de Europa to help raise funds for the 2017 Poppy Appeal.

In September the Nerja RBL held a concert by the Cowbridge Male Voice Choir in the Caves Restaurant, where the choir performed a mixture of Welsh songs and popular music. A sum of 820 euros was raised for the Poppy Appeal at the concert, thanks in part to a raffle.

Rotary Club

Sponsored walk

The 2017 Charity Walk organised by Rotary Club Marbella-Guadalmina on 7 October raised 5,000 euros for two local charities, Fundatul and Homeless Angels.

The walkers of all ages - the youngest was only four months old - chose routes of either 5.10 or 18 kilometres depending on ability. This spirit of inclusivity was appropriate for both the charities. Fundatul helps disabled people to live and work with dignity and support (www.fundatul.org). Homeless Angels is a charity established by Rotary Club San Pedro that takes a holistic approach to the many problems of the homeless, aiming to reintegrate them into society. New corporate Rotary Club Members BSure Insurance were among the sponsors.
