FUTURE EVENTS
Cultural Visit: Torrevieja Harbour and Surroundings - Tue 3rd March 2026
I would like to thank Graham Knight for organising such an interesting and informative Cultural Visit. For those that did not attend today, why not lookout for our next visit.
Photographs from the visit & lunch:

















Introduction
As discussed at last year's Annual General Meeting, the Committee, with the assistance and leadership of Graham Knight, will be organising a series of cultural visits within the Torrevieja area. These excursions are designed to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the community in which we reside.
Details of the First Cultural Visit
The inaugural visit is scheduled for Tuesday, 3rd March 2026. Participants are to meet at the new car park at 10:45 hours, as indicated by the QR code within the information attached. The visit will commence at 10:50 and conclude at 13:20 hours. Lunch will follow at 13:30 hours.
Location and Activities
This exclusive visit will focus on the current redevelopment works at the harbour, where a multi-million euro investment is underway. The transformation aims to create a comprehensive leisure centre, which will feature a cinema, bowling alley, restaurants, and bars.
Please note that, due to the nature of the site, this visit is not suitable for wheelchair access and will involve negotiating some stairs.
Additional stops will include a tour of the Aduanas (the Customs building dating back to the 1950s), as well as a visit to the fish market. However, the fish auction will not be taking place during our visit.
Lunch Arrangements
Lunch will be served as Menu del Dia at Bar Isla. The cost is €13 per person, excluding drinks. Menu also attached.
Those interested in attending both the cultural visit and lunch are requested to book via Tim Mayren or Jack Kemp or confirm within the FaceBook Post and leave your Comments.
Guests
Family and friends are, as always, warmly invited to join us for this event.

80th Anniversary of VJ Day Celebrations - 15th August 2025
On behalf of the Chairman please find attached the poster for the Torrevieja Branch of The RBL (BR3456) official VJ80 day celebrations which you are all invited to attend.
Formal direction and timings for those involved during the day will be forthcoming but needless to say with the Pipes & drums, ceremonial parade of standards, Live radio broadcasts during the day AND discounted food subsidised by the Branch there is a lot going on.
Those members who wish to parade behind the Branch standard will be encouraged by all means but are requested to be at Silverstones before the parade STARTS at 1300hrs, however we are open from 1100hrs.
There is a parade muster area 400m up the hill from Silverstones. If you are wishing to parade please can you reply so I can pass numbers to our President who be acting as Parade Marshall for the day.

From Torrevieja Branch to all those that joined us yesterday from Near & Far, the 14 New Members of our Branch and for all the Very Kind Donations for TRBL Poppy Appeal - THANK YOU.

As a Branch we have so many to thank, starting with the Venue, Silverstones Bar & Bistro at Montebello, a fantastic location, looked after us all so well, the food was excellent, Big FM for the Live Broadcast, Torrevieja Pipes & Drums, our own Standard Bearers and the Associations that also joined us or also came with Standards to be displayed on Parade. Our Branch Committee Members, thank you for pulling together as a Team, and making this such a special day for all those that attended.
The 14 New Branch Members we look forward to seeing you and officially welcoming you to our Branch, for now you will receive a welcome letter from the Branch President once we have your Membership Confirmation Number from London.
