On February 14, CASA Social Club held its second successful event of the year – a Valentine’s lunch at restaurant Solar do Farelo, near Portimão, where attendees were treated to a delicious meal served in the conservatory.
“To add to the experience, the views were spectacular, and we were able to decorate the room accordingly,” said a CASA spokesperson.
Everyone had heart-shaped chocolates at their place together with their name and menu choices presented in hearts.
“To keep our old brains alert, there was a themed quiz which had been assembled by our Membership Secretary, Christine. Much laughter and chatter could be heard throughout as attendees were warned about the unpleasant consequences of Googling!”
First prize went to John and Erika who are not members but joined CASA because they happened to see the write-up of a previous CASA event in the paper, and thought it might be fun. Second and third prizes went to Daphne and Jan respectively.
“Our sincere thanks go to Senhor Fernando and his excellent staff for their efficient, friendly and patient service (they even helped us to put up and take down the decorations).
“When we originally asked to hold the event at Solar do Farelo, we were told that as we had behaved the previous year it would be possible. The question now is: what about next time?”
The next club event will be the AGM on March 14 at the Naval Club in Portimão. Full details of this and all planned events will be found on CASA’s website www.casasocial.club
