Welcome to the MAY 2010 issue of the TAPAS Newsletter. What’s been happening? The highlight of the events calendar in April was the hugely successful TAPAS Easter Extravaganza Spring Fayre, which took place on Saturday 10 April. It was held for the first time at Los Arcos, on the Coin to Cartama road. The weather was kind and the open-air covered venue was very popular with stallholders and customers. Twenty five different stalls were in attendance, ranging from home made food to arts and crafts, and cosmetics and jewellery as well as pottery and paintings! An enormous vote of thanks goes to TAPAS Member Ann French and husband Tony for their time and effort organising such an outstanding event.. Our thanks also go to Pete at Heart Fm who provided music and entertainment . The other April event that took place on Sunday 25 April was the Car Treasure Hunt, organised by Maggie Parker and Betty Ross, Nearly 50 contestants roamed the highways and byways around Alhaurin looking for clues.Thanks to the kind hospitality of Jane Young, a really pleasant and relaxing afternoon was enjoyed after the hunt for “Treasure” through the Sierra De Los Nieves. Wonderful scenery, wonderful weather, wonderful company and wonderful fundraising result! Well done to all involved! There is a lot also going on behind the scenes! Hopefully, those thespians amongst the readership will be aware that Lee Lingwood is just starting rehearsals for the new comedy play “Searching for Doctor Branovic” which will be staged in July. If you would like to be involved, whether onstage, or helping out backstage, then please get in touch with Lee Lingwood – Tel 952 625 736, or any member of the Committee. You DO NOT have to be experienced! All that’s needed is enthusiasm and commitment, and of course, a sense of humour helps! A “Murder Mystery” is scheduled for November, so this will be another opportunity to become involved in a TAPAS production which are always enormous fun and TAPAS COMMITTEE 2010 CHAIRMAN – Andy Busby Tel . 952 112 225 Mobile 607 837 730 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN –John Parker Tel 951 160 424 TREASURER - Chris Fidler Tel. 951 247 283 great entertainment!
