The Penya Barcelonista de Sant Fruitós de Bages opened its new clubhouse last Friday in a fun and festive fashion.

Last January 21 in the afternoon, the club presided by Jaume Casals has good reason to celebrate. The new clubhouse in Carretera de Vic has spacious, modern facilities. The council gave its support and was represented by the mayor Josep Rafart and the Governor for Sport. The Associació Barça Veterans was also there, represented by Josep Moratalla. The Club was represented by Pilar Guinovart, director of the Social Area.

Both the Mayor and Pilar Guinovart, plus the president of the supporters club and Ramon Burniol, the delegate of the Bages, Berguedà i la Cerdanya Advisory Council welcomed the guests. Then Father Amat Berenguer of Sant Fruitós blessed the building, which was followed by the inauguration.

The speeches included warm words of remembrance for the founder of the club and president for twenty two years Antoni Baraldés. His widow received a replica of a picture showing his number one membership card, a number that was posthumously withdrawn forever in his honour.

The event ended with refreshments for everybody in the hospitable ambience of the new clubhouse, which will surely provide new inspiration to this supporters club.
