She said: “We are fortunate in having two events: An ‘End of the War Dinner Dance’ to be held at Restaurant A Cegonia at Camping Albufeira on 10 November for the Algarve region generally.
“And on the same date there will be a dinner dance at the Hotel Belavista Luz for those in the west, which has as its theme ‘A Time To Say Thank You’.”
Jacquie explained: “We marked the centenary of the First World War in August 2014 with an event in Almadena, western Algarve and have marked several notable anniversaries since then.”
The Albufeira dinner, which costs €29 per person, begins at 6pm with a sparkling wine reception then, at 6.30pm, everyone is asked to join in a singalong of WWI songs.
Dinner will be served at 7pm and the entertainment is provided by Victoria Yellop, followed by The Abba Divas and Susanne Wilson.
The four-course dinner is accompanied by a half-bottle of wine and a half-bottle of still water per person.
The dinner at the Hotel Belavista in Praia da Luz is priced at €23 per person with a 7pm reception for 7.30pm start.
Nigel and Sarah from Collar & Cuffs have donated the evening’s entertainment and there is a choice of pork loin or red snapper with the three-course meal that includes wine on the table.
