B & B Fundraising Christmas Party

The B & B Christmas Party will be held on Tuesday 8th December at 6.30 pm in the Moonshine Bar (2nd Floor) at the Steyne Hotel. All swimmers and partners/friends are welcome (no under 18s unfortunately). The theme again this year is simply “Christmas”. So come dressed in your finest Christmas paraphernalia. No need to be shy as we will have the whole bar to ourselves. Finger food will be provided by the Steyne, and drinks will be at bar prices. Lots of fun and dancing are guaranteed, with music by our own band “The Troubadors”, who have generously agreed to perform free of charge for us on the night. The cost is $10 per head, with all proceeds going to the running costs of the B&B. But that’s not all. Our charity partner, the Royal Far West Children’s Home, will be running a monster raffle on the night, so please come prepared to support them. Bookings are essential. Book HERE now! Don’t miss out on this fun event, numbers are limited.

Something Special

At the Christmas Party, we will have a fantastic lucky door prize – a Swiss made Australian OceanMoon watch valued at $490 – donated by Bausele Australia. To celebrate the occasion, Bauselewill give a 15% discount to all Bold & Beautiful swimmers who purchase a watch on their website. To see their range of watches go to https://www.bausele.com/ehome/, and to activate the discount, just enter the discount code BAB15 when purchasing a watch.  Not only that, Bausele will donate 15% of the value of each and every sale on this code to the Bold and Beautiful. The Oceanmoon watch is ideal for ocean enthusiasts like the B&B swimmers, and features advanced ocean technology including water resistance up to 200m, moon phase, tide display and a 40mm face making it unique in its tracking of the Southern Hemisphere Lunar phase and tidal movements.

    Great to have you back blogging Simon and great blog and photos. You managed to capture Lesbubbles looking really sweet and stunning. ( She usually pulls faces!) I love Costa Brava and worked very close to Tossa.

    Great blog Simon. Love the one with you posing as Khaleesi in front of the camels.
    Did Lesbubbles dye her hair?

    I’m sure the water was beautifully clear Simon – but were there any fishes in it? We swim in an aquarium here.

    Hi Jane
    To my surprise there were lots of
    fish including quite a few varieties.
    As you can see the Pyrenees come right
    down to the Mediterranean along much of
    the Costa Brava, so no pollution and
    relatively less on shore fishing.
    I also swam in Barcelona, San Sebastián and
    Porto but none of these had any visible sea life.
