On Monday 26th February 9 members of the U3A Vall del Pop Let’s Sing Together group visited Benimeli residential home to entertain the staff and residents.

The U3A Vall del Pop Goodwill team is the fundraising arm of the U3A raising funds for local charities. We aim to provide varied events that our members will enjoy and will want to support.

Saturday afternoon, 20th January, saw 93 U3A Vall del Pop members and followers of the fantastic OK band partying non stop for 5 hours!

On Sunday 19th November a coach full of U3A members travelled from Jalon to Benidorm Palace, to watch the ELO tribute concert. The tribute band members live in different places in UK, including Manchester, Bristol, Essex, & Scotland, and perform regularly also in Europe. There was a full house at Benidorm Palace, with all the tickets sold, for their one-night ELO Tribute show and the audience was ready for a night of music from the 80’s.

What do you know about Halloween?

Well, not a lot really when it came to answering Quiz questions. The questions tested our knowledge on the origins and traditions of this now much celebrated event. Even our small villages have celebrations, lights and door decorations. I think maybe even more than Christmas.

After the General Assembly business last Thursday 2nd November Candy Wright, from Help Marina Alta (HelpMA), spoke to the assembled members about living and getting older in Spain and briefly about the work that her charity does for those in need in the Marina Alta.
