Edinburgh Castle
The Sunset Beach Club Committee met in Edinburgh this past weekend for their annual Autumn Committee Meeting and the 26th Annual General Meeting.
Despite cold temperatures (0ºC!) a number of local Members attended including a couple that had come all the way from Dorset!
Patricia Reid (see photo below) who has been a familiar face on the Committee for the last 7 years chose to retire and Danish born Inge Letvinka was unanimously voted in favour as her replacement. Michael Orlien (Committee Chairman) was re-elected for a further term of 3 years. Minutes of the meeting and the topics discussed under any other business will be circulated to all fully paid members in the forthcoming weeks before Xmas.
The committee were able to enjoy a little time off and got to do a little sightseeing… here are a few photos they took on their tour of the beautiful city of Edinburgh: (more…)

John with his plaque...
Last Friday was our colleague John Smistkam’s last day of work at Sunset Beach Club 🙁 Why? Because he has reached that wonderful age when it’s time to take a step back and enjoy life…Retirement!
John has been a key part of the team here at Sunset Beach Club for more than 15 years. Working in our Travel Club and more recently on our Golf & Leisure Desk helping guests with all their local information needs – his outgoing personality and friendliness will be sorely missed by guests and colleagues alike!

Anyone who has been to the Costa del Sol on holiday this summer will have had first hand experience with the jellyfish problem which has plagued our beaches during these warm months.
These annoying invertebrates have messed up many an afternoon on the beach for my family and I this summer! Each time we were forced to abandon our plans for a cool dip in the sea I thought to myself “Wouldn’t it be great if there were an App that let you know which beaches on the Costa del Sol are affected by plagues of Jellyfish?”
Well, it looks like next summer my wish will be granted 🙂 The provincial government and the Aula del Mar Foundation will join forces to develop a mobile application (App) which will allow users to know the location of jellyfish shoals along the coast.
Apparently this new app will be easy to use and will use geo-location to warn bathers as to the whereabouts of jellyfish shoals; this way, they’ll be able to choose a beach which isn’t affected by these slippery creatures. (more…)
