Costa Cálida Chronicle - Costa Calida Chronicle

It’s still hot, but our brave volunteers have
returned in force, working hard to make
Camposol A a better place. Our latest
project is the creation of a BBQ area in
Parque Los Palacios. Thanks to Margaret
and Terry, who donated the stone table,
benches and BBQ, and of course to all of
the volunteers who helped to clear the
ground and preparation work to make this
possible. A special thanks to Mark from
CM Constructions, who donated time and
machinery and to Gez at Eurospas, who
provided the heavy lifting gear to transport
all the heavy stone onto the park for us.
Both of these companies have assisted us
from the start; Mark helping to create the
first garden area next to the (now) Indian
Restaurant, and Jez in sponsoring the traffic
island at the entrance to Camposol. We rely
on help from local business and successful
ones realise that they rely on us too. I
feel confident that these companies will
continue to support us for years to come.
Work for your Supper.
The BBQ will be put to the test on November
5 th . We are inviting all residents of
Camposol A to join us in the park to help
with weeding and cleaning up to prepare
the park for the Remembrance Service.
Please come along at 3pm, bringing tools
if you are able to work. Don’t worry if
you can’t. Please join us - find out what
we are trying to do - there may be some
way in which you can help. We still need
a Chairman (Doesn’t have to do much!)
At 4.30pm we will stop work to enjoy
traditional Bonfire Night treats. Please note
that there will be no bonfire or fireworks,
but we will have hot dogs, hot jacket
potatoes, roasted chestnuts, treacle toffee,
and more. The fabulous Phil Brady will be
there to entertain us with live music, and of
course, beer, wine and soft drinks will also
be available. Bring a chair and table if you
wish and enjoy an afternoon in the park.
Remembrance Service
As always, on November 11 th , there will be
a Remembrance Service held in the open
air at the “Jardin de Memoria” area of the
park. The service will start at 11.30am. It
will include the traditional 2-minutes silence
at midday and end shortly after that.
Please bring a chair as we are unable to
provide seating. The service will be in
English. Everyone is invited to attend.
Armistice Day is recognised in many
countries all over the world and the
2-minutes silence is generally observed at
11am GMT, which is midday here in Spain.
My cousin in Australia will be attending a local
service at 6pm. The hope is that all of the
people in the world are praying for the same
thing at the same time, and remembering
those that they have loved and lost.
The service will be conducted by Rev. Len
Eaton. He would like to point out that the
service is dedicated to the memory of all
departed friends, whatever nationality or
religion. Everyone will be made most welcome.
