Firstly we held the inaugural meeting to establish the Railway Association for Zurgena this morning at 10.0am in the Renfe. The attendance was a little disappointing but I had received apologies from quite a number who were in the UK or otherwise unable to attend. About 25 persons attended.
Maria Angela gave a commentary to a slide show of the area from the time the Railway was constructed and the history of the Englishman behind the supervision of it. Gustaf Gillman. It was a very informative and interesting explanation about the area and its early development.
After this part we asked for volunteers to ensure we get the association properly established, functioning and legal. I and Maria Angela would like to thank all who attended but especially the 5 volunteers who are to form the committee. These 5 people will be meeting in the next week or so to establish the committee and ensure proper process.
The volunteers are;
Daniel Mc Grory, David Greig, Mike Yendell, Lyn Yendell and Ray Gaskell. Our thanks to them.
I will circulate all those, who are supporting the Association, of this and keep them informed of developments as and when.
The next Town Hall trip is to the Archeological Enclave of Los Millares, north of Almeria on Saturday 12th May. The complex at this location was in use from end of the 4th millennium to the end of the 2nd millennium BC and supported in the region of 1,000 people. It was discovered in 1891.
The agenda for the day is as follows;
0800 Depart Zurgena
1000 Arrive Archeological Museum Los Millares
1230 Visit the ceramica de Alhabia
1400 Lunch
1600 Guided visit to the church of Alboduloy and the clock tower
1700 Visit the house of Peregrino and Interpretation Centre
1800 Depart for home.
The cost of the trip including guides, entrances, coach and lunch is €12. Places are limited and will be allocated as usual on first come first served.
