Last week new members, Liz and Alistair Macleod, hosted a fun evening of Trivia (Quiz) and Bingo at Pepe’s restaurant in Alcalai. This was a new event for Vall del Pop U3A but 40 members decided to test their brains on the trivia quiz, working in teams of four, and their luck with the bingo. We all agreed that a simple meal choice of chicken & chips  or fish & chips would be good, and I have to say that Pepe's team did us proud.

On Tuesday 18th October, on a gloriously sunny autumn afternoon, 31 ladies from the Vall del Pop U3A enjoyed a lovely get together and lunch at La Solana restaurant, Alcalali. With the weather being so kind we were able to sit outside in the garden at two long tables, which allowed for lots of chatting and laughter.

On Thursday 13th October 32 U3A Vall del Pop members enjoyed a fabulous Indian evening at the New India Gate, Orba.

The Vall del Pop U3A started their General Assembly on 6th October with a busy pre-meeting period for booking trips and events, perusing the Pre-Loved Table and, my personal favourite, enjoying the freshly prepared cakes. Paula did us proud this month with a wide variety of delicious cakes, the sponge with fresh strawberry was well worth a second piece – but I had just eaten the last slice!!

Despite torrential rain and flash floods 80 U3A members and friends, and OK Band supporters, braved the weather and enjoyed the most fabulous afternoon picnic concert on Sunday 25th September at Pinos. After a welcome from the U3A Goodwill team and Ian Bennett from Bay Radio the party was kicked off by Paul and Jude J, two of our lovely U3A members, with some great songs from the 60s and 70s, while we enjoyed our picnics. They did us proud as always. A great start, thank you.
