On January 30, the vice president of FC Barcelona, Alfons Godall, inaugurated the new headquarters of the Penya Barcelonista Coma-ruga�95. Senator and president Josep Maldonado invited a number of dignitaries from the Bar�a and sporting world.

Around two hundred supporters club members joined the Penya Barcelonista Coma-ruga’95 on such a special day, when they inaugurated the new place where they will watch Bar�a games. It is a cosy

venue that includes a number of Bar�a treasures, most of which were kindly by former players.

FC Barcelona was represented by its senior vice president, Alfons Godall, and by former player, Julio Alberto Moreno. Godall cut the ribbon in the company of the host club’s president, Josep Maldonado, the mayor of El Vendrell, Benet Jan� and Elisabet Cardoner and Emma Gamper, granddaughters of Nicolau Casaus and Joan Gamper respectively. The religious blessing was performed by Father Jordi Barenys.

Alfons Godall thanked the club for the welcome he had received and said it filled him with pride to be able to share this day with so many people of Coma-ruga. After the speeches, Josep Maldonado, showed the guests around their new home, which from now on will be the place where the members will be able to witness so many Bar�a successes.

Music and thanks

Coma-ruga breathes Pau Casals in all four corners and the supporters wanted to express this when the local School of Music, conducted by Carlota Baldrich, performed the melody that Casals did so much to popularise, ‘El Cant dels Ocells’. Two children from the school then played the Bar�a anthem on the violoncello and oboe. And an occasion like this was not to be missed by the Bar�a trumpeter. Rudy Ventura played a series of Bar�a related tunes to add even more emotion to a delightful day.

The club also recognised the work of several of its members and various people who had helped with the development of the new centre by presenting gifts.

Well known faces

The many guests included some members of the Agrupaci� Bar�a Veterans. There was a host of former Bar�a stars in attendance: Bakero, De la Cruz, Seguer, Manch�n, Celdr�n, Sadurn�, Mora, Zuvir�a, Estella, Vinyals and Herrera. Other famous faces from the world of sport included Jordi Gonzalvo, Juan de Dios Carrasco, Sergi Albert, Rojas and �lex Oliv�.
