The Portugal Branch of the British Legion is holding events across the Algarve later this month and into May.
These are open to everybody who appreciates the work of the British Legion and Britain’s armed forces, not just to retired military personnel, a significant number of whom live on the Algarve.
A lunch in the central Algarve for members and anyone interested in Legion activities is arranged for Wednesday April 15th at the Navigador restaurant Alvor. Contact Alun Roberts on alunrluz@gmail.com.
There is also a monthly lunch for members and people living in the eastern Algarve on the first Sunday of every month except August, at Gunthers Restaurant Olhão. Details from Phil Ladbrook on prladbrook@aol.com.
And after a membership expansion onto the Algarve’s west coast the first-ever Western Branch Luncheon is to be held at the Pont'a Pe Restaurant in Aljezur on Wednesday the 29th April, starting at 12:30pm for 1 pm at 17 € per person. Closing date for bookings is April 20th, and anyone interested in making a reservation should contact James Howe or Sue Salisbury-Howe on 969 324 117 or email casahobo@sapo.pt.
Bookings are still being taken for the VE Day dinner at Lazy Jacks Bar & Grill on the Marina in Lagos on Saturday May 9th at 7pm. The cost is €15 per person, with the first drink included and early booking is vital as numbers are limited. The closing date for reserving a place is May 3rd by contacting James Howe at 969 324 117 or 969 324 117, or email casahobo@sapo.pt.
