Garcia Lorca added that “these vehicles should not go on pavements or go through urban tunnels, nor circulate on interurban roads, motorways or dual carriageways, as well as establishing their maximum speed at 25 km/h and their drivers must comply with this like all the others.”

DAVE TURNER was more than happy to meet Vera And District Lions Club new President Zoe Rylett and swap ‘friendship banners’, especially as it meant joining their monthly meeting in Los Gallardos in Almeria rather than on a cold, dark night in the small town of Market Deeping in Lincolnshire.

Dave explained that the main charities The Lions support are Brain Tumour Support, British Heart Foundation and MacMillan Cancer Research. However, he is particularly proud of perhaps their greatest achievement which was the construction of a ‘sensory garden’ for the charity SENSE supporting badly disabled children. And apart from supporting the food banks in Turre and Vera which currently assists 1,400 families, they consistently give aid to the St Agustin Children’s Home in Vera and are now on a mission to raise much needed funds for major renovation work on the building which is 151 years old.

Dave and his wife first visited Spain in the winter months 13 years ago and their love affair with this region has continually blossomed. They return to the UK feeling refreshed and energised to face the year and raise money. For Further Information. Email: veralions secretary@gmail.com Tel: Zoe Rylett 639 036 051.
