stop press

• At last we have insurance cover for our work in the park! Thank you to Anabel for organising it.

• We raised over 100 euros through the sale of calendars and these funds will be delivered to the orphanage  in Elche as soon as possible. Jenny kindly volonteered to go.

• Our colleague Jose Manuel is now a Daddy and a very happy, proud Daddy he is! Our congratulations, JM!,

• Finally on a sad note there has been yet another fire at the park - the police, according to the local papers, suspect a serial arsonist.

Please note the new format - I have taken out all but the last two months' minutes. We all have copies of them anyway. I think the front page looks better now - do you agree?

Our monthly meetings are now held in the audio-visual room behind the Casa Forestal on the second Monday of each month. La Mata's new square is looking great - minus the building we used to use for our meetings. More room for cafes and pedestrians as the old gives way to the future!
