The
Torrevieja Branch meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at Friends
Cafe Bar, Avda Del Mar, Los Montesinos 03187 at 10.30am. Details of the
location and directions are shown below. There are no meetings in July
and August.
The constitution of the Branch consists of an
elected chairman, secretary and treasurer. The Branch year runs from 1st
February annually and membership is open to all retired police officers
and their spouses/partners. Membership Membership is currently €10 per
year. Annual subscriptions are from January to the end of year and
payments should be made by the first meeting in January or as soon as
possible thereafter.
Branch Objectives
The
Purpose of the Branch is to provide facilities for members to meet at
regular intervals to further social activities and offer support for its
members living or visiting the Torrevieja area. Serving police officers
who are perhaps considering locating to the Costa Blanca in the future
are also welcome to attend our meetings and social events.
Social Events
The
Branch organises monthly events consisting of meals at local
restaurants where members can socialise. These consist of formal and
informal gatherings with suitable dress. A wide selection of
establishments are chosen to provide a varied menu but usually there is a
choice to suit all tastes. Formal events are held on 2 or 3 times each
year to mark special occasions such as Christmas when a more expensive
menu is chosen.
Other social events take place including quiz evenings, sea fishing trips and boules matches.
Cultural Events
Fed
up with reading in local press of a wonderful event we didn’t even know
was being held?? This is a regular annoyance to everyone. There is so
much to see with little advertising of such. We cannot expect to hear of
ALL the activities happening in areas outside Torrevieja but now we can
be kept up to date regularly with all cultural activities and fiestas
etc. being held in Torrevieja, IN ADVANCE.
Simply send an e-mail to:
imc@torreviejacultural.com with
the heading “suscripcion” and include name, address, post code,
telephone number and Province in the body of the message. You will be
sent all the planned cultural events etc., free of charge. (I am also
receiving e-mail notification of new events). If you also want sms
messages, again free of charge, include your mobile number. For those of
you living outside Torrevieja, please inform any member of the
committee of any event you think members may be interested in attending
and he will pass details on whenever possible.
