Dear Ed,
I very much appreciate you putting our reports in the sports pages of your paper, but I was wondering if you could put the following in the sports or charity pages for me.
On 23rd October 2010 there will be a Charity Golf Tournament at Sierra Golf, The Darren Smith Memorial Trophy. Darren was a spina bifida sufferer who died at the age of 19 in the U.K. His parents, Ray and Trish Smith now retired and living in Spain, have taken up golf themselves and thought they would like to do something for a local charity in keeping with Darren’s illness. Therefore the Darren Smith Memorial Golf Tournament will be played in aid of AIDEMAR, San Javier. Aidemar provides special needs education to children and young adults in the San Javier area and would very much welcome a donation to assist with the wonderful work it does.
The competition will be a 2-Ball Texas Scramble and entries can be made via email to me:
Bob.Gallard@gmail.com or direct to Sierra Golf on 693 521 442
My very best regards,
Bob Gallard
FUND RAISING EVENT RAISES OVER €1,400 FOR AECC
When Campoverde resident Christine Lumley asked Jason and Vicki, who run the Treetops restaurant in Campoverde, if they would host a fund-raising event in aid of the AECC they readily agreed. Christine’s idea for a Night of Entertainment quickly took shape and thanks to performers Gill and Pete, Linda and Keith, Pauline and Roger, Yvonne and Morris, Jane and Steve, Mick and the children from the Ghost Academy of Performing Arts, a wonderful evening was had by all those who attended. When the money raised was added up, to everyone’s surprise and pleasure it totalled €1,400, a truly wonderful donation to a very worthwhile charity. AECC Campoverde Branch would like to thank Christine, Jason and Vicki and all the performers who gave so willingly of their time and talent.

HELP M.M.M. Happy To Assist.
A call was received at the HELP MMM office on Friday 6th August from the British Consulate requesting assistance for a British family in the Mazarrón area. Their teenage daughter had been admitted to the Rosell hospital in Cartagena for emergency treatment.
Though this is outside the area covered by the Charity, lady volunteers responded and went to the aid of the Moore family, whose 18-year-old daughter, Alice Moore, was waiting for an emergency operation for peritonitis (appendix).
Her Gran had called the Consulate in desperation, as the family had arrived in Spain on the night of Monday 2nd August and did not speak any Spanish.
Happily Alice has made a good recovery after a successful operation and Dad arrived on the Saturday morning.
Particular thanks must go to our ladies, in particular Mrs. Audrey Haigh and our patron, Lady Elizabeth Hebdidge, for their valuable contributions in translating.

Dear Sirs,
Over the past few months I have received several queries regarding an organisation named M.A.D. (Making A Difference). I would like to assure everyone that this organisation is in NO way associated with or working in conjunction with our legally registered charity, MABS Cancer Support Group Mazarrón.
Despite being a legally registered charity, MABS does not receive any local or government funding, relying totally on donations and fundraising events to provide help and support to local cancer sufferers and their families.
We recently opened a charity shop in Totana and have several drop off points for donations of items to be sold in our shop, they are:-
CAMPOSOL A - Glitzy Bits and Laras Bar
CAMPOSOL B -¬ Alley Palais
PUERTO de MAZARRÓN - Le Bistro
BOLNUEVO - Jane's Salon
No other location is a designated collection point for MABS Mazarrón.
All our volunteers carry a photo ID badge with the MABS logo and charity information.
If you require any further information please go to our website:-
