Once again the month of August sees the start of a new season with the Trofeu Joan Gamper Estrella Damm set to start off proceedings. The event will also coincide with two important dates for the penyes movement.
The beginning of July is traditionally a time when the penya’s trobades come to an end and Vice-president Jordi Cardoner i Casaus attended this year’s get together’s in the Maresme and Castella-La Manxa.
The chief director of the Social Commission, Pau Vilanova, travelled to Portugal to be with the Penya Barcelonista de Lisboa on occasion of its fifth anniversary.
There will be plenty of supporters clubs in Monaco to see Barcelona compete for the European Supercup, and that is despite the game taking place at the peak of the holiday period.
