AFPOP East Algarve Area organiser Linda Cree celebrated 15 years of working with AFPOP as a volunteer last week, with a lunch at Barbacoa restaurant in Almancil, on Monday 23rd May.

There was an excellent turnout for the May Algarve Senior Bikers ride, from São Bras de Alportel to Alte. So many turned up that there was enough to warrant the forming of three groups.

In mid-May 2022 a group of 5 intrepid riders from the Algarve Senior Bikers (ASB) hit the road to explore the Alentejo region between Setúbal and Juromenha, at the Spanish border.

The first business drinks event of the year for the British-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce (BPCC) was held last month, April 28, at the Carvoeiro offices of estate agents Fine & Country.

Leaving from the meeting point in Silves, the motorcycle riders of the ASB took to hills over to Nave Redonda. Then from there they continued north to visit the Santa Clara country hotel, for a break for coffee and chance to admire and photograph the spectacular views of the lake from the hotel terrace high above the dam.

For the last 10 years, Rotary Club Estoi Palace International (RCEPI) has given Merit Certificates to recognize the efforts of the best 3 students of each grade between 5th and 9th grade at the School “Poeta Emiliano da Costa" in Estoi.

Having had to postpone and then eventually having to cancel the February ride due to the wet and windy weather, it was good to be able to run the ASB March event, even though it was delayed again by the much needed rainfall.

Rotary Club Estoi  Palace International (RCEPI), with the help of the Rotary Club of Faro, held a Gala Dinner at the Hotel Eva in Faro on Friday, 4^th March, in support of  APAV ( Associação Portugesa Apoio à Vitima)  an association that helps victims of domestic violence.
