FUENGIROLA Pat and Lionel Fidler have re- cently retired as volunteers at the Cudeca hospice shop in Fue- girola after nearly 25 years. The couple, who will continue to collaborate as tin collection vol- unteers, worked as day team leaders for two mornings every week in the hospice shop. When Pat and Lionel first con- tacted Cudeca’s founder Joan Hunt early in 1993, the first hos- pice shop had just opened for two mornings each week. With their help they were able to extend opening to four mornings and later to six mornings. On their last day at the shop, Pat and Lionel were presented with a certificate in recognition of their loyal support, as well as flowers and special greetings from their two teams. The hospice charity now has ore than 900 volunteers involved with its different programmes.

A scene of the play. :: SUR Amateur dramatics in the Axarquía

VÉLEZ-MÁLAGA The Axarquía-based El Valle Drama Group recently performed a one- act comedy play, It Ain’t Over Till The Fat Lady Sings, to full houses over two evenings at El Trapiche restaurant. The comedy was di- rected by Steve Heugh and Mar- garet Heron and starred actors from this English-speaking amateur dra- matics group. Money raised from the raffles over both evenings (350 euros) was donated to the charity Anne Axarquía, which provides educational and vocational sup- port for young and older adults with moderate to severe learning disabilities. El Valle’s next produc- tion will be a pantomime in De- cember. For more information call 692551385. 32 July 7th to 13th 2017 LIFESTYLE SUR IN ENGLISH

Although most consultations at health centres are for mosquito bites which are seriously inflamed or persistent, Dr Beccalli points out that in recent years there have been more cases of serious bites. Why is that? “We need to analyse it from an epidemiological point of view,” she says. “What we are seeing are cases where skins are more sensitive to bites or stings, and that has a lot to do with the smell of the perspira- tion. Some types of skin react dif- ferently, and in some cases the in- flammation can be quite serious.” She quotes a case at the health cen- tre in which she works, of two chil- dren who had to be admitted to hos- pital because they reacted so badly to bites and needed antibiotics. “That’s why it’s so important to keep an eye on children if they have been bitten or stung by an insect,” she says.

Some were already fans of the sport, so they knew the rules, and that makes it easier,” says Rafael Már- quez. There are another five people on the technical side of the team, but Rafael is the most experienced and he founded the club. A computer engineer by profes- sion, he has spent his life working for a major company all over the world, including the USA and Slo- vakia. He spent less than a year in America, but was instantly attracted by this sport. This is not surprising, as it is hugely popular there. How- ever, it was his ten years in Slova- kia that he really learned it. “I became an assistant for a league team and also for the Slovakian na- tional team,” he says. “I also went to other European countries like the Czech Republic, Poland and Hun- gary, and I saw how popular Ameri- can football was becoming.” However, in 2014 his work brought him back to Spain, firstly to Barcelona, where he was the co- ordinator for the Barbera Rookies in a year in which the team rose again to the Spanish First Division, as high as it could go. Months later, he returned to Malaga and his passion for this sport led him firstly to head the junior team of Los Potros club in Fuengi- rola and then to start setting up Los Corsarios, of which he is the foun- der. Currently it is the only Ameri- can football club in Malaga city, but he wants to take it a step further and start competing seriously. The players train every Monday and Thursday at the José Gallardo pitch in Portada Alta, and are already becoming excited about the thought of turning their hobby into some- thing much more important. 58 July 7th to 13th 2017 SPORT SUR IN ENGLISH One in one out; Borja Bastón replaces Sandro
