There is still time to join one of the ninth annual sponsored Walk for Life walks in Competa. This year, once again a choice of three sponsored walks, two commencing at 08.45am from Puerto del Collado and the 5km walk around the village of Competa from The Mirador, Competa at 10.45am.
For full details see our website www.walkspain.co.uk/walk-for-life It is free to join any of our walks, all I please ask is that you try and obtain as much sponsor money as possible. Any questions, please contact me Cindy Jones on 665156467 or email cindyjones19@hotmail.com
The walks will terminate at The Alberdini Rural Hotel, Competa where the Day for Life fun begins. From 12 noon onwards, lots of entertainment for both adults and children. A dedicated children’s area generously sponsored by Sergio Fernandez to include Hoopla, Tin Can Alley, Pin the Poo and Cover the Bottle, plus Face Painting and a Nail Bar. For adults only, kindly arranged by Geoff Tyler, there will be a double elimination Darts Tournament which means that both winners and losers can progress to a final. The cost of taking part is only 4 euros and players should sign up and pay at Todo Papel, Competa prior to the event. Please indicate when signing up if you are taking part in one of the walks and Geoff will endeavour to give you a later playing slot. This year, there is an opportunity for the winner to be presented with a fantastic cup, kindly sponsored by Pavo Real, Competa.
At lunchtime, The Alberdini will prepare and cook a “Paellagigante” for only 5euros a portion of which 2euros is donated to Cudeca. There will be numerous stalls to meander around, the ever popular home-made cake stall, hand-made jewellery, home-made soaps, Bookstall, Bric-a-Brac, Wooden Carvings, Marmalady selling natural produce of Jams, Marmalades, Pickles and Chutneys, and of course an amazing Raffle Stall. Lots of fantastic prizes have already been generously donated so don’t forget to buy your raffle tickets. This year for the first time, we are also running a “Surplus Produce” stall so if you have any surplus produce from your garden or land which you’d like to donate to Cudeca, please bring along on the day. Likewise if you have any books or bric-a-brac or wish to make a cake, all will be gratefully received on the day. If you have any questions, please contact me, as per the details above.
I am really hoping the weather will be kind to us this year, hence the change of date to June. We have a very tough act to follow as last year’s event raised 5000euros which included two very generous anonymous donations of 190e and 500e respectively. My personal goal is to hit 5000euros again; can you help me do it? This will help Cudeca to continue to provide “adding life to days” through their “special kind of caring” – palliative care to over 8500 advanced cancer patients and their families throughout the province of Malaga.
As per previous years, there is no parking available on the Top Level of The Alberdini, only on the first level. Alternatively, a van will offer free transportation from outside The Portichuelo Store, Venta de Palma to the Alberdini and return.
I look forward, once again to your fantastic support at our event. A Fun Family Day with lots to see and do, plus a live music schedule including Andy Time.
Thank you
