A presentation was made to the mayor of Pilar de la Horadada last week to mark the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Orihuela Costa Branch of the RBL and the support that it has been afforded by the council during that time.

News of next week’s responsible animal ownership awareness campaign launched by Orihuela and a petition for the introduction of a municipal bus service calling in at the Costa Calida golf resorts where those residents without their own vehicles, or who can’t drive, currently have to rely on taxis to get them to the local shops and towns.

In sport we report on the return to the European Tour of the Spanish Open Golf Tournament and in football a welcome win for Torry, their first since November, which will provide just a little cheer to the players as they fight for their unpaid wages.
