welcome to the forum chezphil (I am justphil - a minor part of philandjen if you look at earlier posts!)
chezphil means "at phil's place" do you mean at the Tria or is your name the same as mine?
Arillas has not changed - the people are as wonderful as ever, and the beach (see earlier reports by members like Sandy) is even better. Jen and me are there from 7 to 21 July then from about 29 August to 26 September. You can't miss us - the "Arillas Hippies" come and say hello. Costs nothing!
Find out about forum corner - now Tuesday 7.30pm in Coconut and same time Thursday in Malibu. We'll probably be at all four times, but never know.
As for tria pool, our "roving reporter" Eggy has had to come back here for a while. Watch Arillas Today. The centrepiece of our forum.
Best wishes
Phil (yes - it's my name.........)
