24th May – 8th June – Sunflower Campaign
Cudeca will be holding its annual Sunflower Campaign for two weeks commencing on Saturday 24th May to Sunday 8th June. As every year, Cudeca will be celebrating Corpus Christi in Benalmádena Pueblo on Sunday 25th May starting at 10am. The campaign is a chance for Cudeca to promote awareness by allocating a Cudeca awareness table in diverse venues along the coast ranging from supermarkets to churches. The objective is to sell as many sunflowers as possible (sunflowers being the symbol of the Hospice movement) and publicly portraying the “special kind of care” we offer free of charge to non-curable cancer patients within the province of Málaga. If you would like to volunteer and help out with this campaign or any other event, please contact the fundraising department at the Hospice centre on tel: 952 564910.
Royal British Legion Coin
The Coin Branch of the Royal British Legion held their own special version of the ‘The Weakest Link’ to entertain attendees of their Social Meeting last Wednesday (19th March).
The event, supported by approximately 70 members, was organised and humorously compered by the Social Committee Chair, Denise Walker aka Anne Robinson, who also scripted the hilarious pre voting jibes. ‘Anne’ was appropriately dressed in black and adopted an aptly stern persona.
Nine ‘contestants’ answered a range of questions posed by the resident branch quiz-master Bob Felgate.
After some very dodgy voting irregularities and antics, which drew in the audience who cheered and booed their favourites, the eventual worthy winner was Jim McMillan. He was awarded his ‘Weakest Link’ trophy by Branch Chairman, Jo Taylor, and also received a gift of boxed wine for his efforts. It is hoped that the highly prized trophy will be fought for in a repeat episode next year.
The Coin Branch meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month 11.00am at the Hotel El Palomar, Urbanization Miraville, Los Llanos de Coin. For information see the website at www.coinrbl.info or contact Jo 952 451 671 or Den 952 453 829 Welfare number 672 025 756. Non-members most welcome.
Please remember that you do not have to be ex-service personnel to come along and join in.
