The Bridge group would like some more players, especially over the summer! It doesn't matter what your level of bridge is, or how long ago you last played, the aim of our group is to have a relaxed and sociable afternoon playing cards.

We meet on Wednesday afternoons at 3.30pm – 6pm, at a different member's house each week, mostly in the Jalon/Alcalali area, and you don't have to host it if you don't want to.

Please contact the group leader Sue for more information on 96 597 3286, or email Sue at s.mueller@polinet.ch

None of us knows when we might be affected by cancer. It can strike anyone. Maybe you or someone close to you is already affected? Elaine Horton came to talk to U3A members at the General Meeting on April 12th, to tell us about the work that MABS carries out in helping cancer patients, and you can read Carol Lockhart's interesting and informative article on Elaine's talk by clicking here.

The Chess Group played a return match against Denia on Tuesday 20th March. This time we played on home territory at the Aleluya bar in Jalon, where  the battle was fought over nine boards. Denia won again, but we are undaunted! We all enjoyed playing, especially Christine Acton who won her game, and both teams had a nice meal together afterwards in the restaurant.

You can now see pictures taken at a couple of the ballroom dancing group sessions in the Gallery. Believe it or not, a lot of us had never danced before we went to this group, and some of us swore we had two left feet.

New members are always welcome, and our teachers are very patient, but if you're an expert dancer there's plenty of room in the lovely hall at Alcalali to strut your stuff! Ballroom dancing is on Tuesday mornings at 10:15, in the Multiuso hall in Alcalali (near La Solana restaurant).

At last, we have the agreement of Parcent Town Hall to use their cultural hall Sala La Musical for the Cinema Group. This group is open to all members of the U3A. Showings will be on Monday evenings at 7pm, usually fortnightly, but actual dates and titles will be published in advance. We aim to show a wide range of films from 'art house' to mainstream blockbusters, hopefully something for everyone!

The group restarted on Monday 30th January, with a showing of "Ray", about the life of musician Ray Charles, and this was enjoyed by all who came.

Showings will be included in the events listing on this website's Home page, and full details of films, where the cinema is, and how to get onto our mailing list are included on the Cinema Group page.
