A glorious sunny Friday, 31st May, saw some 70 U3A Vall del Pop members assembling at MasLaPau for a leisurely lunch on their terrace, nestling in a quiet enclosed valley just outside the village of Lliber. The venue was new to most of the members and comprises three beautiful stone buildings, with arched nayas, and an infinite pool, as the basis of their restaurant and Spa.

After a long illness, Malcolm passed away on Wednesday 22nd May.

A number of U3A Presidents, their partners, charity workers and volunteers from Aged Concern, MABs, The Samaritans and many others groups from across the Alicante region, said a fond farewell to Simon Manley on Tuesday at a reception in Alicante.
