The Ornithological Club of Famalicão took the opportunity of the celebration of its 17th anniversary to open the doors of its new headquarters. The Famalicão sports association, founded in 2005, joins now the 13 other groups already installed in the Espaço do Associativismo, at Rua da Estação.
The signing of the loan agreement for the provision of the space to the Ornithological Club took place last Saturday, June 18, with the presence of the Mayor of Vila Nova de Famalicão.

About the new headquarters of the Ornithological Club, the mayor believes that "large steps are being taken so that ornithology may have more relevance in the municipality and continue to promote and honour Famalicão".
It should be noted that this is already the 14th association installed in the Espaço do Associativismo.
