Las Violetas Community Web

It is very nice for me as spare-time webmaster to see that this site is used as much as it is.

However, apart from the forums where all users can post, most of the content currently is provided by and for R3.

It does not have to stay that way! The site is built so that both information common to all communities, AND information specific to each community, can be contained. Users belonging to one community will see the common information and the information for their community.

GENERAL EMERGENCY NUMBER

112 YOU CAN CALL THIS DIRECT FROM ANY EUROPEAN PHONE WITHOUT ANY COUNTRY CODE. THIS NUMBER IS FOR POLICE, AMBULANCE, FIRE AND COASTGUARD.

LOCAL POLICE PATROL CAR

0034 649 900 304

LEAVE OFF THE 0034 IF USING A SPANISH PHONE. THIS GOES DIRECT TO THE CAR, THEY MAY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH BUT KNOW WHERE DRIVERS BAR IS. "LADRON CERCA DRIVERS BAR" IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. (IF YOU SPEAK SPANISH LET ME HAVE OTHER SIMPLE SAYINGS PLEASE THAT WE CAN REMEMBER)

Maureen in 227 has sent me some photos from the street cleaning in September. You can find them in the photo gallery!

If anyone else has photos they want to share, everyone can put them on the site by using the "Share pictures" link in the left menu. However if there are many photos with a common theme, it's better to send them to me and I will create a separate gallery for them - like I did for Maureen's photos.

With the signup of property 224 today, we've reached user account number 100 of this site! This includes every attempted signup (also bogus ones), so the active number of users is less.

Some properties has more than one user account, so the number of properties signed up is less than the number of user accounts. Here are the details:

Hi All,

As there are quite a few of us who go ten pin bowling at Torrevieja, we thought it may be nice to start something on it for the web site.

What we do is have two games and then we add the scores together to get winners. We have two cups donated by Helmut of R4, one for the ladies and one for the men.

Congratulations to Spain, winning the Euro 2008 championships!

I don't know much about football, but watching the final, in my opinion the better team won!
