It has been controversial, damaged, abused, but the whole point was how a forum member (our lovely kevin.g) put our donations into effect. Trying to give something back to the place and community we all get so much from. Our Jetty Bench is a symbol of that. No more, no less.

Join me in thanking all who put it into effect. "Thank You"

I agree with Val, Anne & Phil - Thanks to all concerned.
As far as I can see there is no photograph of the bench on this thread so this one is posted to remedy that.
Best wishes to all forum folk & Arillas Adicts everywhere!

There seems much activity on the bench this morning - maybe today is the day when it goes off in to hibernation.

11:09am UK time
Looks like the bench is still there!
It also looks like another beautiful sunny day in Arillas - perhaps the summer will never end.

The bench is still being put to good use and the weather is a pussycat and is being as nice to it as it can possibly be.

But.... It will be put into hibernation soon.

I have spoken to Gary and we both think the bench should remain "in-situ" until after Christmas, weather permitting.
We are currently enjopying temps of around 19deg at 4 pm today and if the weather stays this good for December you may see bums on seats Christmas and boxing day.
It is getting a lot of respect from various shaped buttocks right now.

( I am thinking of becoming the new "Seat Attendant" and charging one euro per botty , e2.50 for 3 botties - But, I may need a "jobs worth cap" ! )

Cheers

I watch the bench most days, on and off, and see quite a few people using it, at dusk, if somebody isn't sitting on it there is nearly always someone on the jetty. So I think it should stay until the weather is to wintery for it to be used.
Ang, your idea is a good one, if Gary has the time.
