We still have another week of school summer hols and the kids down at the resort are loving it! We have had a fabulous summer here at Club Olympus and have really enjoyed the company of all the families who have joined us this year.

The Kidz Klub has had one of their busiest years for a while and Kate and Gabby have had a terrific time with all the youngsters but it isn't over yet! There is still more time for swimming gala's, "walk on water", facepainting, model making, pool competitions, dancing, karaoke and talent competitions!

And the weather is still roasting hot!

It's all still happening for summer at Club Olympus

After all our Pool maintenance (and because the temperature nearly hit the nineties, and because Mick Wilkin of the Pool Bar said "Ivan, I'll give you a pint if you go straight in"), I decided to have a swim in our main pool

And I can highly recommend it. The temperature was perfect and the pint after was delicious!

Alan, of course insisted that the event was recorded on camera to get his own back after much 'pink shirt' abuse.

What a fine figure of a man if I say so myself. No photograph of me in swim wear would be complete without a shot of my ratty old flip-flops so here they are in all their 'ratty old gloriousness'.

I know that you have been missing them, please feel free to comment by clicking on the "comment" button below right. ;-D

It really was pleasant in the pool and it shows why Club Olympus owners and guests love it. The weather is outstanding, the pools are great, the beer is cold and all the team at Club Olympus are looking forward to seeing you.

All the best

After a brief closure, our smaller top pool is back in full swing. Every now and again we have to perform a maintenance routine with the pools. We hate closing them as they are very much a part of everyone's holiday, however every now and again it has to be done.

Pictured above is the recently maintained top pool as we call it. The photo was taken yesterday (just look at that sky!)

Here below is our main pool and the Poolside Bar which is very much a focal point of the resort.

The resort as a whole is in really good shape and we are pleased with progress. If you are heading down here this summer, we are sure you will have a terrific holiday.

The Poolside Bar is doing really well and Mick and Stacey are thoroughly enjoying the company of our guests.

Can you guess who is under the Afro wig (It's not Mick in case you were going for the obvious!)

The World Cup has been very well attended at the Poolside Bar and a whole new raft of entertainment and cabaret is being presented, including the fabulous Lady Gaga show.

Everybody is certainly into the swing of it including Club Olympus timeshare owner 'Lord' Peter Osborne shown with Hedley below! The Osborne's were with us recently and had a blast.

  Pictured here below is Assistant Resort Manager Lupe Ortega with Gabby on the left and Katy on the right. Katie and Gabby look after the 'Kidz Klub' at Club Olympus and are ready for the summer onslaught!

All of the Club Olympus team members are geared up and ready to welcome you down to the resort.

If you need any assistance, please call our main office at the resort on 0034 922 795606 or email Sue Simons on ss2@olympusworld.com.

And if you see Alan wearing his pink shirt, do have a word with him!!!

And a beautiful Geranium at Garden City to finish off this post (notice how it matches perfectly with Alan's shirt and tie combo!)

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Best wishes from all the team at Club Olympus

Ps. see below to see who was under the Afro wig!

It was of course our very own Ray Karlsen (The Hornless Viking)

Yesterday (Monday) the Club held its Annual General Meeting at The Las Dalias Hotel adjacent to Club Olympus. Here below you can see the Olympus Committee and support team.

From left to right, John Bone (Scrutineer), Janet Smales (Committee), Tony Rhodes (Chairman), Jean Faichney (Club Secretary), Brian Bottomley (Committee), Christine Robinson (accounts), John Tarling (committee), Sandra Wrightson (Legal Counsel).

The main headline from the Club Olympus AGM is that there is to be no increase in maintenance fees this year.

Juggling the accounts over the last year, with the exchange rate drop, has been "a challenge" to put it in modern parlance! However, the committee are confident that things have stabilised for the time being. They are doing their best to ensure that services are kept to the optimum and expenditure at the minimum. The committee are happy with the position of the Club accounts and with Club progress. There is still a bit of 'tidying up' to do after the sad demise of Tony Hartley, the previous Club Secretary. Members will be aware of that from the AGM notices, however things are progressing well in that regard.

The committee are timeshare owners at Club Olympus and have the best interests of all members at heart. Their hard work, personal interest and support is very much appreciated by all.

As required by new legislation, we have up-graded our First-aid facility and life-guard station. It is clearly signposted and in a first class position by the main pool.

Today (Monday) the station is being manned by our life-guard Ricardo from Cuba.
