Wednesday April 8th, 3pm saw a full and buzzing La Palmera Bar/Restaurant Jalon hosting over 20 members of the Friendship and Support Group enjoying a special Easter Treat.
On 30 April 12 of us gathered at the recently refurbished Verd I Vent restaurant, on the Bernia outside Jalon. They placed us all on one long table in a new room at the back. Conversation flowed and we were able to make a bit of noise, without worrying too much about disturbing our neighbours!
Our May General Assembly was a real test of our adaptability as an organisation when we learned at short notice that, for reasons outside our control, the Maskeraid drama group would be unable to entertain us as planned and that the best alternative they could offer us was a YouTube video of past performances. I am pleased to report that we passed this test with flying colours!
On Easter Monday Sally and Peter Ellis and Marian White kindly delivered a large donation of food and drink goodies to the volunteer bomberos based in Castell de Castells.
22 members enjoyed a fabulous lunch at the lovely Val de Pop restaurant in Lliber for the March Dining Experience.
Like everyone in the room at our April General Assembly I was fascinated listening to Don and Katherine from Euro Goat Trekkers tell the remarkable and moving story of how they and their animals all first survived and then recovered from the devastating fire which destroyed their home outside Tarbena two years ago. I was also struck by how much help they received both from friends and people they had never known previously.
