Noticeboard
AGM 2026
Has been and gone like an Ed Sheeran concert without the singing. Everything was passed and the minutes will be up on the website as soon as they are approved.
Il Gallo D'oro has reopened after a major restyling. Dinner from €255 per person not including drinks.
Força Maritimo e Nacional
Its all a bit exciting as Maritimo are back at the top table, next is Santa clara on Sunday 1 November at 6pm. The big derby v Nacional is on Friday 27 November at 2015. These dates are confirmed but later dates are provisonal until the television companies decide the exact date and time. Alas prices aren't €5 like last season, its €15 behind the goals, and if you want Benfica/Porto/Sporting tickets you need to decide early and they will €30-€90.
EES is in, finally, apparently.
They are apparently not used on all flights, and most people say it doesnt take much longer and it will speed it up the next time you come. If in doubt, go early is our motto so best to do that with any flights to the EU until its up and running smoothly.
Flights new flights
Jet2 is opening a base at Gatwick, and this winter will fly from Monday 26 October, with a Friday flight joining it from the week after. So far it seems to be winter only as it stops after 30 April 2027 and then restarts in October.
SAM+EACL+Rodoeste=New Tickets are here, finally...
Finally they have the new tickets, and with more options too. Pre purchased tickets are €1,45 per journey in Funchal or €1,95 the rest of the island, instead of paying €2.05 or €2,65 respectively on the bus. Also they are selling a tourist specific one, which looks more expensive but includes the aerobus.
