I see in FAQs that these have restarted at Rosie's on a saturday mornings : with any success? We will be out for saturday 5 February if anyone is around at 1100, but how do you recognise a Forum member?

Yes, but with not that much enthusiasm so far, but possibly due to the recent rainy Saturday mornings.

Older members may be wearing the 'Orange' badge, newer members will have a red carnation in their button hole and be carrying a rolled-up copy of 'The Times' under their left elbow

Otherwise if you see anyone sipping a beer (or coffee) and looking furtively/nervously around, they may be forumers - if not you may still meet some very interesting people up there !!

Having visited CVO and stayed in Sesmarias for the past few years- I can't believe that I had to check where Rosa'a Bar is!!!!
We pass by it every day daahh! Look forward to seeing a few Forum "guys" there. We will be there Feb 19th.

Probably all scared in case the "Cranes" are in there - bit like the 60s in London - watch out, the Krays are in there!

Cafe Sesmarias to give its proper name, also known as Rosa's and yes it is opposite the water tower!

The one opposite the water tower is the Italian.
If you come up from Carvoeiro to the junction & the water tower is on your right you turn left & Rosa's is on your right.

Semantics really!

Semantics 'The study or science of meaning in language' - so not really unless you don't think opposite means opposite ? Sorry just trying to help with accurate directions.

What side of the road is Semantics on? I don't recall having seen it.

Across the road from Sarcastic and next to Pedantic!
