<strong>AndAds</strong> Issue Two Hundred and Eighty Three – 2 March 2012<br />
<strong>AndAds</strong> is an English-language collection <strong>of</strong> advertisements, gossip and information,<br />
distributed free <strong>of</strong> charge by email in <strong>Andorra</strong> usually on the 2 nd , 12 th and 22 nd <strong>of</strong> each month.<br />
There is even more change at the Illa cinema and their website has now been extended to<br />
sometimes show the films for next week as well as the current week. Start by clicking on<br />
www.illa.ad/cinemes. Then, at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the page, you may find “propera<br />
programació”, which gives you next week. Or, you may not. Either way, click on the VO<br />
icon for the latest English language film times.<br />
It is best to check carefully just before you go and at the box <strong>of</strong>fice. Last week, two readers<br />
got there to discover that the film was in Spanish, and earlier this week the times given in<br />
the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Club</strong> email were ten minutes different from the Illa website.<br />

We are a team <strong>of</strong> 3 English teachers and one pensioner [70 years!] who are driving from London to<br />
Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia for charity in July. Our mission is to bring a useful service vehicle, in this<br />
case a minibus, to a needy school in the impoverished capital. We are operating on behalf <strong>of</strong> Go<br />
Help, UK registered charity 1129226. We are having a really hard time sourcing a donated [or<br />
cheap enough to be affordable] vehicle. The Mongolian government has put some rules on what we<br />
can and can't bring. We are searching for a minibus, minimum 10 seats, 2003 or newer [LDV or ford<br />
transit would be perfect]. If anyone has one in the UK we'd be happy to go collect it. If you have any<br />
contact info/leads, we would be ever so grateful. Please visit our website to read more about our<br />
mission and our charity. www.mayo2mongolia.com . Contact: charley.wright1@gmail.com .<br />
