Poor Old Uncle George –

At the moment we are in full rehearsal for our next production, a comedy called Poor Old Uncle George, written by David Butler-Cole, which will be performed at the Lagoa Auditorium on May 17^th, 18^th and 19^th. Tickets (€10) can be reserved on 282 789608, 966 507 308, 282 358126, or via algarveantickets@hotmail.com.

Cast is as follows:

Alec Latitude, (Trevor Herrington) Private Investigator who is instructed to investigate the death of his wife’s Uncle George aged 73, (killed by a Polishing machine in the Blatant Bargins shopping Arcade) by the Insurance Company’s Agent, Harry Nash,(Lloyd Delderfield).

Harry Nash runs an Insurance Agency and has never paid out on a Life Insurance Policy in 25 years due to various unscrupulous methods. Harry Nash keeps Piranha fish as a paper shredder in his office.

Ada Latitude, (Lara Costa) Wife of Alec and unlike her husband never loses her temper but has a poor understanding of the English language that leads to “Malapropisms”.

Gladys Pyle, (Orla Ferrie), 23 year Old widow of Poor Old Uncle George, (Aunt to Alec & Ada), who has been married before, more than once to older men and arranged a do it yourself funeral for Poor Old Uncle George which is also being investigated by Bobby Peel, Policeman, (Charlie Beddingham). During the course of Bobby’s investigations he comes across a group of, “Secret Agents” who meet in the park of which it turns out Poor Old Uncle George may have been a member along with Olga, (Bo Williams) a Russian Agent who works in the Park in a secret profession as well as working for Harry Nash the “Mr Insurey Man”.

Warning this play contains strong language and can seriously damage your health through too much laughter. (those with weak bladders are advised to wear tenor pants throughout the performance.)

AMOVATE recently announced plans for a programme to support local businesses by taking some events out into the Community rather than stage them at the Old School House.

And we can now announce that, in association with Amovate, the Taska do Karisma on the Pines Roundabout will be holding a Chicken & Chips evening on May 5^th.

It will take the form of music, dance and food, beginning at 4pm and running until the last reveller departs the premises!

You don’t have to be there right from the start—just turn up with your ticket any time that suits you during the evening.

Val and Steve will be taking over Antonio’s kitchen and providing the food, whilst Antonio will be concentrating solely on the bar, making sure everyone has their glasses replenished throughout the evening.

Food comes in the form of chicken and chips, included in the ticket price of just €5, with the option of buying a soup and roll starter for an additional €1.50.

Tickets are available from the Taska do Karisma bar – ONLY UNTIL 2nd MAY.

There will be other events announced in the coming weeks, including our Summer Ball headline event provisionally scheduled for July 21^st in the Marquee at the Vale da Telha Hotel, also on the Pines roundabout.

We are also in talks about a Summer Solstice sunset party at the Por do Sol in July.

On September 15th  there will be a Party Night at the Piranha and on a date in October a Portuguese Night at the Vale da Telha Restaurant.

Events still scheduled for the Old School House include Bob & Oggy’s Fun Day on August 4^th, the annual Music Festival on August 25^th, and the Halloween and Christmas parties so spectacularly staged by Bob and Oggy.

Full details of all the events will be announced shortly.

Entertainment at the Piranha Bar on Saturday 24th March  22:00 hrs.
