It was another full restaurant and we had well over 85 people attending. Thanks to Glen and Lou for hosting the event and thanks to everyone who showed up.
The next get-together will be on Sunday the 21st February 2010 at Palm Club, Ave Cabo Branco, Cabo Branco, starting at 1pm and finishing around 7pm. This bar is about 150/200 meters away from where we had our last get-together at Paradise Beach bar and 400/500 meters from Ave. Pres. Epitacio Pessoa on the beach.
As always there will be a book and DVD exchange, so be sure to dig out all those old books you keep meaning to bring and swap. We hope to again have Lawyers attending to answer your legal questions, this will be confirmed in the reminder we will send out.
Here is a map showing where the Palm Club is located (the blue marker).
