A record numbers of players participated in East Algarve Walking Football sessions in Tavira and Olhão during July and August.
Gail Buchanan
It is with deep sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Gail Buchanan in Scotland after a long and brave battle against cancer.
Fifty years ago Gail trained at Jordanhill Teacher Training College, Glasgow, and went on to work successfully in the travel industry before opening a shop with her husband Ross in Tavira Conceicao.
The East Algarve Walking Football family extends its heartfelt condolences to Ross and his family at this very sad time.
There is a tribute site dedicated to Gail at https://gail-buchanan.muchloved.com/ where you can leave any messages or make donations to “Maggie’s Centres” which provide cancer support.
