Amovate Entertainment
The summer has arrived, so it must be time to fire up the party atmosphere. Amovate has three great events organised for your entertainment. To kick off the summer we have a 70’s music and BBQ party on the 11th June (see poster). The BBQ will be chicken / ribs or vegetarian pizza with chips and coleslaw. This will be our first event of the year, and with no expense spared we have the pleasure to announce the best tribute band in the Algarve: ABBA Divas will be performing for you.

Since it’s a 70s party, fancy dress is encouraged, with prizes for the best costumes. But don’t worry if its only the music you like. That’s cool, too. Just bring your dancing shoes!

See if you can answer this question correctly:
“Who started the best Christmas song of the 70’s with:
“It’s Christmas!”
• Elvis
• Cliff Richard
• Noddy Holder
If you have the answer, go straight to the Amovate website and order your tickets today. Be quick, this will be a sell-out!

New Heart Defibrillator

Amovate are pleased to announce that a Heart Defibrillator has now been installed at the Pines Roundabout, by Junta de Freguesia Aljezur. It’s the first in the Aljezur Region and is now operative.

If someone has a cardiac arrest, make sure you

  • Firstly ring 112 to alert the Bomberios
  • Start CPR chest compressions
  • Get someone else to collect the Defibrillator from the box:

Open the 2 catches top and bottom and open the door, you will see a closed transparent inner box which is locked. Press the button and talk to the operators, they will release the door remotely. A code will be sent to allow this to be used as the defib will be tracked by satellite.

Follow the instructions on the Defibrillator.

SW Color ART

For all you local Artists!

We have received this news from SW Color Aljezur:

A large part of our clients are residents of Vale da Telha and also a large part of the community live not only in Vale da Telha but also in the district of Aljezur.

We stand out in the field of paints and materials for wood treatment, multiple surfaces among many other construction products.

We decided at the request of numerous customers mostly the “foreign” community of Vale da Telha and surroundings, to move to SWCOLOR ART, which is to have all kinds of material to exploit this gift that we are fully aware that exists in the municipality and surrounding areas.

I am talking about canvases, oil paints, charcoal, pencils and specific markers, and a whole range of products that not existing in the county forces customers to travel to Portimão where there is a reference shop for such products of the best brands at the best price.

We can guarantee that all artists will no longer need to travel to Portimão to have the necessary material to expand their art.

We will have the best brands and strongholds at the most competitive price in the region.

I invite all members of Amovate to visit our shop once in order to prove the diversity and prices of the material that from Monday we will have available in our shop.

SWCOLOR ALJEZUR & SW ARTS Can be found at the bottom of Rua 29 de Agosto, Aljezur (the road where Spar is located).
