Rotary International Guardamar are looking to replicate the success of last year’s Classic Car Show with a packed programme of events scheduled.
High and dry BEACH bars in Orihuela will not open during the Easter break ac cording to an announcement made on Friday, March 24. Beach bars or ‘chiringuitos’ will not open due to a delay in awarding a contract to the company managing beach bars in the Orihuela re gion as well as running other services on local beaches. The previ ous contract ran out in January and has not been renewed. The councillor for Beaches, Antonio Sánchez, explained his de partment had hoped to award the new contract by March, but sev eral of the proposals are still awaiting review, so the process has been delayed. The council aims to review proposals carefully to en sure quality services to beach users. The delay has caused disappointment for residents and tourists who had hoped to enjoy the beachfront bars during the holiday season. Residents are eagerly anticipating the reopening of the
Segura’s Plaza del Ayun tamiento. The event is also a char ity initiative, raising mon ey for an excellent cause! Funds raised at the event will go towards the book bank at local Guardamar high school, IES Les Dunes, which currently benefits 180 sixth form students. The school would like to support 100 more stu dents studying at the cen tre by providing them with educational books, but needs to replace al most all of its books to do so. The total cost of the project is estimated to be around €10,000 to be able to support the students. The Classic Car Show is now in its 11th year and promises to be a great day out for all guests, whether they are car en thusiasts or just looking for a fun day out with family and friends!
