Ocean Initiatives Mt Clérigo Saturday 24th March

 

Michelle Cassar has again asked us to advertise this event on our Website:

Ocean Initiatives Mt Clérigo Saturday 24th March  between 10am & 4pm

This is the 4th Ocean Initiatives to be held on Mt Clérigo.

 

In this time we have created enough plastic to weigh twice as much as all the people on earth. 

 

As well as cleaning the beach this event is to raise awareness about plastic pollution, as our oceans are turning into plastic soup…. 

 

This year Surfrider are wanting to spread their message “Rise Above Plastics”  

 

In the hope that people can start to “Rethink & REFUSE” single use plastic. As re-cycling is not a solution to this fast growing pollution.  

 

Over 70 people collected plastic & other rubbish last year. Lets hope 2012 will be just as big! 

 

With thanks.  

 

Please note: single use plastic gloves will not be supplied, please bring your own if you´d like to use them.

Amovate In The Community – Events

AMOVATE is planning a new headline event for the Vale da Telha and Aljezur areas…a Summer Ball.

Amovate’s Committee has drawn up a project to involve more local businesses in the association’s social activities with a view to supporting them through the current tough economic climate.

And, with the assistance of Bruno at the Vale da Telha Hotel on the Pines Roundabout, it is proposed to hold the Summer Ball in the rather lovely marquee in the hotel grounds at a date yet to be confirmed but hopefully either Saturday July 16th or Saturday July 23rd.

Bruno has kindly made the marquee available to Amovate for any events we wish to hold, and it is expected that there will be further functions there in a rather more “swish” environment than we can provide at the Old School House.

But, working with those local businesses which sponsor Amovate we are planning to take more events into the Community to help support those businesses, mostly through the quieter months.

One annual event that will remain at The Old School House is the Vale da Telha Music Festival which this year will be held on Saturday August 25th. And Bob and Ogy’s Christmas Grotto and Hallowe’en events will also be back there later in the year.

The names of the bands taking part in the Music Festival will be announced once we have confirmed the bookings. But we will be repeating last year’s successful formula of staging this outdoor Music Festival in the evening, offering free admission, with a selection of bars and food concessions (again provided by local businesses) around the perimeter.

We are also working with Antonio at the Karisma to stage an event in, hopefully in May; with Hugo at the Piranha Bar for an event later in the year; with Jose at the Vale da Telha Restaurant for a Portuguese evening in October, with dancing to live music, and; with the Por do Sol on the headland at Arrifana for a midsummer sunset party.

So, keep an eye out for more information about these events and join us in supporting your local businesses through these difficult times.

Remember the old adage—use them or lose them….!!!

Monchiquense 1 – 1 Aljezurense

Many Aljezurense supporters followed the team up the mountain in hope that the league title would be settled, but alas Monchiquensie had other ideas.

In a scrappy match made far worse by a deplorable referee, Aljezurense looked jaded or had already thought the title was won. Monchiquense played some pretty football but the finishing touch was fortunately lacking, or they could well have been at least 3 goals up before halftime.

Missing the injured Lawrence 18 in midfield, Fabio 5 was not supported enough by his fellow players with Serra 28 battling against an eager home side that were able to run at the Aljezurense defence.

A game with a view

Against the run of play Aljezurense went ahead after a good move that ended with Casinhas striking home a rebound from the keeper. This seemed to put some spark into the visitors and several chances went missing from, Joao 7, (starting the match – a first for some time) Jardel 21 and Casinhas 10.

This period of the game saw Aljezurense more dominant and they should have gone in at halftime 3 goals to the better but for slack forward play.

In the second half Aljezurense sat back and the home side took control, far too many chances went begging only through poor finishing, otherwise the home team would have wrapped the game up.

Noel 17 was red carded for 2 yellow card tackles, the second from a laughable dive that conned the Referee again – this put severe pressure on the defence in which Kieran 15 played an important role in gaining a point.

This was probably the worst performance of the season with Aljezurense still needing 1 point to ensure that they are crowned champions. Noel 17 will now be side lined for the match against Serrano in 3 weeks time, although Serrano need to win by a very large  margin at least to give themselves a chance in overhauling Aljezurense, but of course we still have to visit Bensafrim.

The next game is Serrano at home on 24th March, I apologise for misleading people that it was next week
