Not sure if any of this really means anything, but may provide some clues to
the internal mechanisms of the Leicester-Portimao business and leisure networks
and possible divisions. Could well be a series of coincidences.
Tuck Price - Gay interior designer, 'swishing'
advisor and friend of Robert Murat. The American is alleged to have told the
Daily Mail - "When this is all over, I hope he makes a buck or two out
of it. He bloody deserves it." Price's 'swishing' sponsors include Algarve
artist, Anna
Westwood, wife of golf-pro Tony Westwood who was appointed Head
of Boavista Golf Club (which is practically next door to the Ocean Club).
Boavista Golf Club The club's perimetres were searched by Police
in the days immediately following Madeleine's disappearence. Tony Westwood
was appointed
Promotional Manager and Golf Professional at Boavista Golf and Leisure
Resort between August and October 2009. John Geraghty, the Leicester
property/contsruction millionaire who loaned the McCanns the use of his garage
to store their Renault Scenic after their sudden return to Leicester in September
2007. Geraghty is mentioned as providing entertainment at the Boavista
Golf Resort on several occasions. Geraghty is also a member of the Boavista's
'Hole
in One Club'. He lives in the Sargaçal region. Boavista is co-managed
by Orbit Developments and the Emerson Group based in Cheshire - home of Brian
Kennedy the McCann's sponsor and Edward Smethurst, the McCann's property developer
lawyer.

P G A - coordinating
coaching at the golf clubs. He is also a committed supporter of the Associação
Turismo Do Algarve. Since relocating permanetly to the Algarve in September
2008 after several extended stays, Westwood has endorsed a number of key tourist

Kate McCann was a GP at Latham
House Medical Practice in Melton Mowbray, where Westwood headed up coaching
at Six
Hills Golf Club but there is no indication they had ever met.
Like Murat, Tony Westwood dabbled in the Algarve Porperty market, specialising
in those looking to buy golfing
homes in the srea.
Both Gerry McCann and David Payne are keen golfers, the pair having booked
a golfing holiday
in 1994. Mr McCann was himself the victim of a theft of golf clubs from
his car in 2006 (is it possible he has enemies amongst his close cricle of
golfing buddies?). Gerry's golfing buddy, Doug Skehan works as Senior Consultant
at Glenfield Hospital. There is a company registered to an Anthony Westwood
in postal region LE7 7 - in Rothley, Leicestershire. This is the same post
code of Rothley Court Hotel.
