describes Jim, who, like so many other
heroes of that time rarely spoke about
his experiences. He will be greatly
missed by everyone in the Legion, but
they take comfort knowing that his
widow Vera is fortunate in having a very
loving and caring family around her,
testimony to the fact that Jim was a
wonderful father and husband.

RBL mourns a hero
The Royal British Legion, Nerja Branch,
wrote with great sadness to let us know

their veteran members, Jim Bromley.

Something to sell?
Do you make something unique that you
would like to sell in Nerja? Or do you
have a service you’d like to promote?
Makers Market is on every Thursday
morning at DBs bar in Calle Almirante
Ferrándiz (Post Office Street). There is
also space for more stall holders so if
you are interested please call Debbie on
643 232 655 or ask for her at the market.
See their ad on page 46. Buying or
selling, it is well worth a visit.
Additionally, they are always eager to
hear from people who are interested in
becoming shop volunteers. One four
hour shift once a week makes a big
difference. There are always two
volunteers per shift making for a safe,
relaxed, congenial environment. For
more information you can ring the shop
on 689 314 350. Opening hours are
Monday to Saturday from 10am til 2pm.
As well as the shop in Nerja, for many
years CAS has maintained a stall at the
Trapiche Market. Unfortunately, their
stalwart Sue is no longer able to continue
so they are seeking a new marketeer.
The market is on every Tuesday from
9.30am until 1.30pm. CAS will provide
you with all the inventory of clothes,
bric-a-brac, books, etc. but you will have
to provide your own transportation. For
more information, please contact CAS
president Vera Newing on 95 252 9670.
