It is with great sadness that I have to report the sad passing of Robin Plenderleith on Sunday 24th March. Robin was our first President when our lovely Altamira was under construction and was a little bit like Cowboy Land.
Those of us who have been here for some time will remember the times when we had no Telephone and no Postal Service to the boxes. These eventually came about under the Presidentship of Robin.
In those days we would meet in the Portacabins (where the Club House now exists) and take a glass or two of wine whilst Robin would “hold court” after a game of golf.
We shall all miss his cheerful exchanges as he would take his constitutional walk and must be mindful that we all owe him a debt for “crusading” those early years in office as our President.
There is a planned memorial service in his honour at the Spiritualist Chapel near the Saturday Market in Playa Flamenca on Sunday, however, timing has not been published as yet.
Our thoughts are with Annette (his wife) at this sad time.
