Monday sessions in Olhão suspended for the summer
Due to the very small numbers attending on a Monday morning in Olhão it has been decided that this session will be suspended over the summer period.
The session on Wednesday will continue and will be open to anyone over 50 (with visiting friends and relatives etc. able to join in regardless of age).
We hope to restart Monday sessions in September if we can get more local interest to boost the numbers.
Friday’s non-contact session cancelled
Due to various people not being available, the non-contact session in Olhão on Friday May 27th has been cancelled. We hope to resume on Friday June 3rd.
