The C-Sector Green Fingers Gardening
Group started back on Wednesday 21st
September and the first job was making the
duel carriageway safer by pruning the palms
and cleaning the road and removing the
weeds. During the morning breakfast break
one of the team Paul passed me a ring he had
found near the old Masa office. It looked like
gold, but some of the team thought it was
plastic. I took it home and put a message
on the facebook Camposol website. (FOUND
GOLD RING). The following morning Tom A,
from C-3, asked me if we had found a ring
when we were out working on the mail road.
He described it and the inscription, the ring
was reunited with the owner. Tom said the
ring was worth over £200, so he went off a
very happy bunny.
The group will be working for several weeks,
so if you can help please come and join us
every Wednesday mornings from 9am. We
had 17 volunteers, which is a record, but it
very nearly gave Norma a hart attack when I
phoned to order 17 bacon sandwiches! Please
look out for the volunteers on the road and
please slow down.
We have managed to collect donations of 204€
the first week and 213€ the second week, so
thanks for the support from D Sector who
have been very generous. We will be planting
some young olive trees along the road side
near the roundabout by the golf driving range
and are also gravelling the external perimeter
of this roundabout.
The C- Sector Gardening Group have also
started to go 10 Pin Bowling in Totana on a
Friday afternoon. It has been great fun and I
think we are improving. It is free membership
and games at 1€ it’s the best value around
and everyone is most welcome. On her first
bowl, Ann managed to slip on the ally and
down she went, but carried on using her other
arm until the pain stopped her playing. She
went to hospital later that evening and it was
confirmed she had broken her wrist. As she
was waiting for treatment, she saw another of
our ladies who was brought in by ambulance
after slipping in the shower room after her
husband had had a shower. She had broken
her hip, so that was a cracking day and
we don’t want any more of that thank you!
Get well soon Ann and Frances.

The RED CROSS (Cruz Roja) in Mazarrón
are in need of a Replacement Ambulance
An Open Day event and display by Cruz Roja
will be held on the 6th November on Sector
B Camposol. Food and drink will be available,
donated by local Mazarrón businesses. Tickets
for these will be sold and the net proceeds
put into a fund for the new ambulance.
PALS advised the Officers of Cruz Roja
and Mazarrón Ayuntamiento that a fund to
purchase a new ambulance already existed
and that some 40000€ was banked in a
PALS Account with Barclays. The money
has been raised over the last 4 years in the
name of CAFÉ. PALS asked that, if the
Ayuntamiento were agreeable, the pledge
that CAFÉ had made, could make the funds
available to help purchase the ambulance
for Cruz Roja. With a big push from the
Expat community, particularly on Camposol,
and with events in Puerto de Mazarrón and
Bolnuevo, it might be possible to purchase
the ambulance much earlier than the 3
years anticipated by the Ayuntamiento.
The various representatives of organisations
present at the meeting were all in favour
and it was suggested that the event was held
on Sunday 6 th November from 1 till 5pm on
the car park opposite the Commercial Centre
on Sector B. It was also suggested that there
should be music. Byron has agreed to host
and compere the event using the Sector D
equipment. It was also agreed that a Tombola
was organised along with other individual stalls.
This is an exciting conclusion, or rather the
real beginning of the acquisition of a new
ambulance for the area. PALS started this
initiative some three years ago and this new
development could hasten the acquisition of a
much needed facility.
The tickets will be produced by Cruz Roja
and distributed to the various organisations
for sale prior to the event. Cruz Roja advised
that the British Consul has agreed to attend
with dignitaries from the region and the
Ayuntamiento.
