BACK by popular demand, this month Jalon Valley Help held another Games Night at Pepe’s restaurant in Al‐calali. This was a light‐heart‐ed quiz based on popular UK TV games shows.

The evening started with a couple of table‐top rounds before the guests enjoyed a two‐course meal with wine.

In addition to looking af‐ter us so well, Pepe’s gener‐ously donated a bottle of wine and a meal voucher for two as raffle prizes, so a massive thank you to them.

Thanks also to Linda, Val and Kath for organising such a fun‐filled event which raised a total of €355.

Future events to look out for are the May Fayre in Jalón on Sunday May 14 and Jumping for Joy in June, with the Entertainers at Los Arcos restaurant in Pe‐dreguer on Thursday June 1.
