GARDEN CLUB<br />
The Garden Club held their July meeting on Tuesday 9th July in Keith and Helen Rumsey's garden.<br />
There was a good attendance of 18 made up of new and regular members. We each took our time<br />
strolling around the beautiful garden, so much to see. Keith and Helen are always happy to help with<br />
names or information about any of their shrubs, cacti or plants, even offering the odd cutting. We came<br />
back and sat in the shade under their gazebo ready for the meeting to start.<br />
Sandy had put out various gardening papers, photos etc. for new members to see. She pointed out two<br />
important newspaper cuttings to read 1) regarding the possible danger to one's health when having a<br />
compost heap and 2) regarding a Pensioner who won 61 million pounds over 'Roundup' weedkiller's<br />
link to cancer.<br />
There was plenty of enthusiasm regarding the last two Garden Club Meetings. Paloma park in May and<br />
the last meeting in June to Molino del Santo.<br />
It had already been decided to cancel the August Garden Club meeting as it is too hot and to hold the<br />
<strong>September</strong> meeting on Tuesday 10th at 11.30 am in the AgroJardin Garden Centre. One of our<br />
members offered their garden for the October 8th Garden Club meeting. (please speak to Sandy for<br />
where and directions). Hopefully we shall have even more new members.- everyone is welcome.<br />
The meeting was then left open to anyone who had a problem, needed advice or had advice to give.<br />
Various conversations began and help offered re. ants, moths on geraniums, cockroaches, disease on<br />
a palm tree, how it is a good idea to cut down various bushes and plants for them to then spread, etc<br />
A very enjoyable lunch was provided with drinks<br />
from our very hospitable hosts which got a huge<br />
thank you from all the members. There were plenty<br />
of cuttings offered to take home. and so we had.<br />
another very enjoyable Garden Club get together.<br />
Interesting info: Did you know that the clematis has<br />
more than 300 species and is a member of the<br />
buttercup family.<br />

PARKING AT THE ICE CLUB<br />
Parking is not allowed in any of the yellow marked<br />
areas and for good relations with our neighbours,<br />
please do not park in the bay next to the front<br />
door.<br />
There is always ample parking space in Entrance<br />
4 of Bahia Dorada. Just continue past the front of<br />
the clubhouse and turn in at the next entrance.<br />
Then turn right and drive parallel to the main road.<br />
You can park near the top and walk along the<br />
pathway to the front door, or go further down and<br />
come into the club from back door.<br />
For those who don’t want ALEXA listening in on your conversations, they’re<br />
making a male version… it doesn’t listen to anything<br />
