Many members of our U3A met for the final Coffee Morning before the summer recess at Los Amigos.

Recently, the Men’s Luncheon Group met at Victoria’s Parcent for lunch. The lunch was well attended by 14 U3A Vall del Pop members and it was a great opportunity to get together to catch up on the news, have a chat and to unwind after the Jubilee events.

To quote from the well-known song ‘Oh what a night’…….

On Wednesday 8th June the Goodwill team hosted a fabulous evening at Can Tallerina in Jalon with the entertainment provided by the 20/20 Band [Photo]. Just under 100 people enjoyed a super concert featuring pop, rock, blues and rock & roll numbers. The band soon had everybody singing along, foot tapping and yes – dancing and it got better and better as the evening progressed. Thank you guys, you were brilliant and we are so grateful for your support.

On 1st June 1982 a young couple gathered four friends and went to Kidderminster Registrar’s Office to commit themselves to one another – ‘till death do us part’. Now, 40 years on the couple find themselves comfortably retired and living in Spain, after a working life in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. So, to celebrate their Ruby Wedding anniversary the husband offers to take his wife for lunch – ‘so generous after forty years’ she thinks! But then, the car by-passes the chosen restaurant and they turn into the drive of the home of their friends, Chris & Paula Barrett.

With a large number of our members coming from many parts of the United Kingdom we were all a buzz with details of the celebrations planned over the Jubilee weekend in London. So, not to be out done, we decorated the Polivalent in Murla for the June 2nd General Assembly with flags, bunting and memorabilia of the UK Queens 70-year reign.

Lst week was all about eating and drinking and enjoying the beautiful weather.
