The telephone number of the campsite is 28310 28694. The beach is ‘wild’ so you might want to bring your own beach mats and umbrellas….
The Bugle Group on Facebook
As some of you will already know, in February we launched an online group for the Bugle on Facebook (the social networking site). It’s an open group, anyone can join, and we would love to receive your feedback, suggestions for features, and photos etc. It’s also another way for us to post details of up and coming events as and when they happen - in between publication dates - and to make announcements . And remember, the forum on
www.rethymnon.biz is alive and kicking, too!
This is the link for the Facebook group:

Summer ‘Arts, Crafts and Local Produce’ Table Top Sales: Call for Participants
Kath Walls would like to hear from anyone who would be interested in participating in table top sales of arts, crafts and local produce, that would take place in Amari village on one Sunday per month between June and October (probably on the second or third Sunday of each month).
The emphasis will be on promoting individually created works of art, handicrafts and homemade produce that have a Cretan ‘theme’ (rather than on mass-produced items). Kath would also be interested to hear from people who would like to give demonstrations of art and craft techniques, and those who would like to showcase traditional local skills. To find out more, phone Kath on 28330 22265 6949419571.
Cancer Support Group
A Cancer
Support Group has been formed for people who have been through or who are undergoing treatment for cancer, as well as for someone
who has recently lost someone to cancer. These are the needs of the current group. It is a diverse group for now and different groups
can be formed later on an "as needed" basis. This is a support group not a therapy group, and confidentiality is a given. There is no
fee. Meetings will be held on the first Monday of every month in Georgioupolis, at the Samaria in the square, from 11 AM - 1 pm.
Carpooling available from Rethymnon. Any questions or comments can be directed to Chris - 6977559644 or email
