So sad that we could not play the last Tuesday Golf competition for this season today due to heavy rain.... but we would like to thank all the players for over 30 competitions we have arranged this season. Lots of pleasant golf memories, many fantastic golf shots and also many golf balls in the lakes, some fantastic results and some very pleasant after golf hours in the club house...
Thank you everybody for this season and see you all in October!!

I woke up this morning to see an overcast sky and the road outside damp from the overnight rain. Looking at the forecast for today there is 2.1mm of rain.
It is a bit of a shame as it is the last Tuesday of the winter golfing season for Marianne & Sune.
I hope that the weather improioves a bit for them today.

Jacqui and I continue to be pretty busy. That, combined with the fact that there does not seem to be much happening in Almerimar at the moment means that we do not have much to post on the site.
The only piece of news I have is that I understand that the local council is planning some event for sometime early in June. I know this as the PGD shop has been asked to participate. The last event we did was La Noche En Vela last summer where we set up a putting area.

Loss of BBC/ITV channels delayed until the second half of this year?

Further to the article here on the Olive Press site. I was talking to Spencer yesterday and he said that the switchover of BBC to the narrow UK beam part of the new satellite has slipped and with probably now take place in the second half of this year.
We will have to wait to see what size of dish might be needed here to continue to pick up satellite services. It may be perhaps a 2.4m or 2.5m dish might work. However this is not certain. We will not know until the channels move to the new satellite.
Having a 2.4m or 2.5m dish may not be feasible for everyone as it depends whether your house or apartment block has somewhere safe to mount it out of the wind. Also the cost is likely to be quite high.
So it is still a case of wait and see at the moment.

Last summer it was announced that Almerimar was to get a new water reservoir (storage tank) by spring 2013. You can see details in the article here. The tank has been around for a while, has never been used and has fallen into disrepair.
Thngs are running a little late but the article here on the Ideal site says that the El Ejido council has paid up it's 68% of the bill for the work (the province of Almería is due to pay the rest). So work fixing the storage tank is due to start soon. The work is expected to take around 3 months
