Casével second time around
Saturday 26th February saw the second session of walking football to take place on the pitch in Casével.
This week’s sessions cancelled due to COVID
Due to the large number of our members who have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past week (and considering quite a few people haven’t tested and may themselves be positive), we have decided to introduce a short break to try and limit any further spread at sessions to protect our members.
Because of this, it has been decided that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday walking football sessions this coming week (7th, 8th, 9th and 11th of March) will be cancelled.
A decision about the running session on Thursday will be made at a later date and announced here.
Thanks you all for your understanding.
Tuesday March 1st change of venue
Due to the holidays on Monday and Tuesday next week, the pitch at Tavira is closed on Tuesday. Tuesday’s over 50s session will therefore be held at Olhão at the Olhanense stadium.
Friday session in Olhão on February 18th is cancelled
Because several regulars are not available on Friday 18th February, the non-contact session in Olhão has been cancelled. Normal service will resume on February 25th.

More money for the bombeiros…
In addition to the €400 raised for the bombeiros at our Christmas Dinner, the 2 bowlers Graham and Bob finished their 24-hour marathon bowl at 7 am this morning.
In addition, the EAWF cycling group managed to raise more than €350 at The Old Barrel last night! A special thanks to Clive, Lorraine and all their customers for their generosity.
We have now raised enough for a onboard computer for one of the Tavira engines.
Thanks to everyone who donated.
