... also the 58th BLUME Festival is History, now!

Closing Gala with the girls of Colegio Echeydel

Once again, many groups and actors gathered for the final event in the large sports hall of the island's capital, Las Palmas. Before that there was a trampoline competition and many groups and delegations let their festival week end individually:
Walks and excursions in the mountains of the island of Gran Canaria were as popular as beach walks in the most beautiful summer weather on the sandy beach to the lighthouse in Meloneras, in front of the magical scenery of the dunes of Maspalomas.
And some clubs were traveling exclusively as holiday guests, who had viewed the many events as a spectator and could enjoy entertaining programs, such. B. also the Ueckermuende gymnastics club of 1861 ...

In the summer of 2018 the Ückermünde senior gymnast Rudi ROLOFF turned 80 years old. The man who could easily be confused with "Columbo" or his actor Peter Falk, has been the tireless and imaginative engine of gymnastics and gymnastics movements in Ueckermuende for more than half a century: (> NDR-Mediathek), and such atmosphere like here at the BLUME Festival, which is of course 'something for this sports functionary, whose daughter had arrived with a group of 14 persons (- but to common show performances she could not persuade her women ...):

... but a next visit to the Festival seems clearly already!

♦ Also BLUME regulars are always groups from Denmark, where the gymnastics disciplines as popular sport are absolutely strong developed.
Since the year 2000 z. for example, Jane Sørensen attend the BLUME Festival. The longtime voluntary gymnastics instructor celebrated here with her large women's delegation from Randers, near Aarhus, and together with her husband, her 50^th "Golden anniversary Wedding", to which her Danish Ladies naturally dedicated a powerfully serene serenade:

(- both with flag right outside). CONGRATULATION!!

.
Oh well - here with the wonderful summer and bathing weather, you forget that it is not much longer until Christmas on the first Advent:

FELIZ NAVIDAD! -So this is called in Spanish, and of course, the hotel management of the festival hotel BEVERLY PARK in Playa del Inglés has arranged the appropriate backdrop that the charming Russian group ARIADNA from St. Petersburg knows how to use:
"Счастливого Рождества!"

♦ Another group with a special BLUME profile that has shaped the festival for more than 15 years:
The "Golden Ladies" from Sweden, with their special charm and the evidence of a seemingly joyous aging through never-ending activity and sociability.
So they presented themselves to the BLUME Gala ...:

... ... and in the evening they meet for social gatherings, songs and the planning of the next festival day:

The legendary "GOLDEN LADIES" from Sweden

♦ The girls from Austria, from Walgau and from Dornbirn, brought special greetings
from the upcoming highlight 2019, the next WELTGYMNAESTRADA 2019 ...

... before it is called again:
♦♦ WELCOME to the 59^th BLUME FESTIVAL Gran Canaria 2019!
