Madrugada would like to thank all those who manned stands and supported it at the 2010 BLIP exhibition held in Portimao 16-17 October. A brilliant total of €1026 was raised for the charity from sales on the Madrugada Vintage Clothes stand, organised by Helen Stokes and Annette Brown, and from its main information stand.
BLIP saw the launch of Madrugada’s membership scheme inviting people to become supporters of the charity for an annual €40 fee. The Algarve Impressions 2011 calendar, priced at just €6, featuring watercolours by local artist Gabriela Clark also made its debut at BLIP.
Special thanks goes to Sheena Rawcliffe and Kate Fitzsimmons at Exiberia for the Vintage Clothes initiative as well as supporting Madrugada through The Resident Group’s publications in a wide variety of ways.
The Madrugada Algarve Impressions 2011 calendar is available from the Madrugada charity shop in Praia da Luz or by contacting: info@madrugada-portugal.com
