Fibre Optic Broadband

UPDATE: reference Fibre Optics, we are happy to inform you that we have had a good response from MEO customers with more than 100 clients who are interested in being able to have this service.  We have now passed this information onto our contact and hopefully we will have more information soon.  We are aware that there are still many people that we contacted who are yet to respond;  it’s not too late so please do not hesitate to furnish us with the details as per our original message / email (below).

Further to our original post below we have had quite a few responses which is very pleasing but we are aware that there are Residents here in VDT that might not read our web page and or Facebook Page, so we ask that maybe you pass this information onto your friends and or neighbours who might well have an interest in a Fibre Optic System.
Amovate are hoping to ‘ride on the back’ of CHESTERTONS ESTATE AGENTS (www.chestertons-portugal.com,  matt@chestertons-portugal.com)who being forward thinking are going down the fibre optic route.  They are having it installed here on the Pines Roundabout very soon as an aid for their business and customers.
Amovate are hoping to have a serious discussion with MEO concerning Fibre Optic Broadband in Vale da Telha.
If you have a MEO account and would be interested in having this service, please make contact by email on info@amovate.com giving your Name, Fiscal number and Lote Number. (MEO prefer the fiscal number to search and access the contracts already held with them).
We have no meeting booked at present but know through one of our committee members that they require the information to judge whether it would be beneficial to the company to move forward.
Maybe light at the end of the tunnel after all.

Para além da nossa publicação anterior, temos tido bastantes respostas o que é bastante agradável mas também temos noção que há residentes em VDT que podem não ter acesso ao nosso site nem à nossa página do facebook, pedimos então que passem esta informação para os vossos amigos e vizinhos que poderão também ter interesse em ter Fibra Óptica.

A Amovate tem vontade de aproveitar a oportunidade iniciada e sugerida pela CHESTERTONS ESTATE AGENTS. (www.chestertons-portugal.com) que, sendo empreendedores, estão a ir pelo caminho da fibra óptica e querem instalá-la na Rotunda Principal de VDT o mais brevemente possível, como uma ajuda para as empresas e a comunidade.

A Amovate espera ter uma conversa séria com a MEO em relação à ligação da Fibra Óptica em Vale da Telha.

Se tiver uma conta MEO e estiver interessado/a em ter este serviço, por favor entre em contacto por email info@amovate.com com o seu nome, número fiscal e o nº do seu lote. (A MEO prefere o número fiscal para pesquisar e ter acesso a contractos que já tenha em curso)

Ainda não temos uma reunião marcada de momento mas sabemos através de um membro do nosso comité que a MEO requer esta informação para decidir se seria beneficial para eles próprios seguirem em frente com a fibra nesta zona.

Talvez finalmente uma luz ao fundo do tunel.

Bombeiros – Urgent Appeal

Most of you will be aware of a huge fire raging in the South West of the Algarve,  which started near Bordeira in the Aljezur area.

Amovate have been asked to help by a representative of the Algarve organisation Associacão para Alerta de Incendio Florestal – Forest Fire Alert Association.  As always, the Bombeiros on the ground are desperate for provisions and toiletries.  However, due to Covid-19 donations of food and drinks etc. ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN TO THE FIRE STATIONS, but can be left at the Old School House in Vales.  These will then be collected and distributed by representatives of the Association.  The Association are also using their funds to purchase the necessary provisions and distribute accordingly.

The Association are also very low on funds this year due to the lack of fund raising  because of Covid-19.

If you wish to donate to the  Associacão para Alerta de Incendio Florestal (a non profit organisation dedicated to assisting the Bombeiros, and the community) there are some details below.

The Iban and the Paypal details , for donations to the Associacao .

DO NOT GO TO THE BOMBEIROS WITH SUPPLIES

Note from the President

As you will have probably read from the recent article, Amovate has once again rallied to help others in the area, at a time when life has been difficult for everyone, but especially the vulnerable of all ages.

 Amovate has partnered with the Aljezur Church Charity on many occasions to help and were happy to do so again.

 A special thanks goes to not only Amovate Members, but to local residents who have donated non perishable food and household goods and left them for collection at the Restaurante Fonte do Vale.   Again thanks to Sofia and David at the  Fonte for their continued support in this effort.

 Of course Amovate can only help others if they continue to be funded, and like many businesses, charities etc., this year our income has fallen mainly due to the Pandemic. 

New Members are always welcome, and we also remind previous members that your membership was due on 1st January.  So if you wish to continue to support Amovate by renewing your membership,  please either pass your old membership card and the fee to a committee member, or visit the office which re-opens on the 3rd July or any Friday after that between 16.00-17.00 at The Old School House….The list Committee Members is on the website  www.amovate.com

 A final word is just to say that the Restaurante Fonte do Vale give discounts to Amovate Members,  but you MUST have an up to date membership card (Blue) with you when you try to claim the discount. It is 1 Membership card per person, NOT 1 card per couple or group.  Amovate supply a list of Members to the Restaurant so they are aware of the situation.

 Thank you all once again for your help in raising the hopes of the less fortunate.

Ian Bedford
President of Amovate
