The first point is the issue of the Sporting Club of San Fulgencio.
There are some people who are involved with the San Fulgencio Football Club who think they are one and the same. However the Sporting Club of San Fulgencio, is the name of the Organisation that covers all the sporting activities in San Fulgencio. Basket Ball, Padel, Tennis, Tae Kwan Do, Karate, Judo, Football (for all ages) and Ballet.
The money that is allocated to the Sporting Club of San Fulgencio is to pay for uniforms, equipment, membership cards, payment to the sports coaches and for referees and officials, when required, etc. As far as their being only a little of the funds being allocated to San Fulgencio Footbal Club, they are only one of many other sporting activities, that recieve help from the Town Hall.
Fiesta de Patronales.
These take place on Thursday 16th and Friday 17th. January. On the official fiesta brochure it states that on the 16th there will be a Solen Mass at 12.00 noon, followed by the Traditional Parade of collecting chickens and rabbits from the residents of the village. I have expressed my feelings on this to the Mayor and I will not be participating in this part of the fiesta.
On the Friday the programme states that at 5pm there will be the San Anton piglet slaughter at the church. Please let me assure everybody that this is symbolic. No live animals will be slaughtered. Porcelain piggy banks will be broken and the funds used by the church .New "Pigs" will be given out to those who donate last years "Pigs"
