We now hope to start these sessions in September.

We are holding a beach festival on July 27th at Camaleao Beach Bar on Armona Island.
Everyone associated with the club (including WAGS) are invited. The ferry leaves the Olhao Pier at 2.30 pm, with a 1.5 km walk to the beach. There is a ferry back from Armona pier at 8.30 pm, or water taxis can be booked if you wish to travel earlier or later.
Activities will include: beach volleyball, beach football, beach petanque, beach rounders, swimming, frolicking, cavorting and much, much more (no heavy petting or running!)
Cost will be €10 per person, including a meal and a drink thanks to a subsidy from the club, with meat, fish or vegetarian available. The ferry is extra.
Accommodation on the island is available if required (please see Jonathan Syed for info)
All sessions in Olhao and Tavira throughout June will be subsidised to €2 per person per session. Get yourselves along for some sun and fun…..

Unfortunately, the sessions in Sao Bras on a Tuesday have drawn to a conclusion due to the small numbers attending.
With a last hurrah, the team from Sao Bras recently played in the tournament in Vilamoura where 3 wins and a draw saw them reach the knockout rounds. A defeat on penalties in the first knockout round led to a semi-final win in the Plate competition. Unfortunately they lost in the final.
Many thanks to those who entered and tried to keep Sao Bras going to the end.
