They used to say ‘post early for Christmas’, but the internet and Brexit are rapidly reducing this task. So, with more covid variants about, the Vall del Pop U3A decided it was time to ‘Party Early This Christmas’ and held their Christmas dinner at Pepe’s restaurant in Alcalali on 23rd November – the start of thirty days of partying.

At last, many of our groups have been able to restart after so many delays due to Covid. On behalf of all Group members I would like to say thank you to all group leaders for successfully managing to “function” through these challenging times and we look forward to an expansion of these group activities as we all adjust to the new post-covid arrangements.

There was a good turnout at our second General Assembly back at the Polivalent in Murla last Thursday 4th November despite the wintry turn in the weather. The association business was quickly dispensed with reports that our membership numbers have continued to increase and the Groups are mostly all back up and running although some, such as Bridge are looking for more members.

After 18 months of inactivity the sunny autumnal weather has all the groups planning activities, so they can catch up with their members.

Vall del Pop U3A is very proud to have achieved their 15th Anniversary.

In celebration, on Wednesday 13th October, 41 members attended a celebratory dinner at the Black Apple restaurant in Xalo, where the TCET team had arranged for a hog roast with Greek Meze for starters and a selection of delicious cakes as postre and entertainment by Matt Mason [Photo].
