Poker on the Costa Del Sol
3 Sep 2010 | 9:14 am
Gary Collins from the Marbella Mob and Sir Nigel Goldman, accompanied by friends Nick and Ritchy, made their way up to Madrid on the new super fast AVE train, a journey now possible in just two and a half hours, to take their chances against the field of seasoned bricks and mortar professionals like former World Series Of Poker Champion-and Poker God to his masses of Spanish followers- Carlos Mortenson, and the new breed of genius from the world of online poker.
Those that have transformed the game into a battle of sheer determined aggression and bluff, putting your chipstack to the test every single time you enter a pot, when you never really know whether they have got a hand or not and might be just representing strength, playing with your mind in order to force you into making a mistake, so that they can strike like a coiled cobra, injecting the venom that is relieving you of your hard earned chips and sending you to the rail, with a wry smile that says Gotcha, as they proceed to look for their next victim to impose more pain upon.
This weekend the 2nd -5th of September sees the sixth leg in the Marbella Classic Poker 770 series at Casino Marbella, a €350 buy in with an optional rebuy for €350 and an estimated prize pool of €70,000, so how do you fancy your chances against these aficionados?

Fun in the Park for Cudeca
3 Sep 2010 | 9:09 am
With the proceeds going to CUDECA to help with their hospice, the production is called ‘Fun In The Park’, an evening of entertainment. It takes place on Sunday September 19 at 6.30 pm. The first half will be a mixture of music and comedy and then there will be the traditional long interval as the audience is asked to bring with them a picnic to enjoy sitting in the gardens. Then the second half is a comedy play called “Day Trippers” directed by Kate Jackson.
A bar is available before the start, during the interval and after the play. Tickets are €12 and can be obtained from Bookworld Espana (San Pedro and Guadalmina), Costa Cards in Benavista and Longmans Bookshop Estepona or at the door.
Just a warning! The seats are rather hard so you are recommended to bring a cushion

New home for Andalucia Performing Arts Society
3 Sep 2010 | 9:03 am
They are a group of fun loving people who enjoy putting on productions and/or participating in the social scene which is a large part of the Society.
Rehearsals are already under way for their forthcoming Old Time Music Hall in October. The well respected T.A.P.A.S choir (pictured), which is currently on its summer break, will also be based there and will resume weekly rehearsals on Tuesday September 7 at 8pm. Hopefully this new location will encourage those from the surrounding area, who feel they may enjoy singing as part of a choir, to try this friendly and easy going group (reading music is not a requirement). www.tapassociety.com
