Welcome back after the summer break. I was delighted to see another very good attendance at the September General Assembly and to welcome several new members, as well as the excellent speakers from Cancer Care Javea. Jeannette and Jayne not only made a very informative presentation of their own valuable services but importantly also explained how they work with other charities in our area, to the benefit of all.

u3a Vall del Pop holds two Coffee Mornings each month, where you can join us for a chat, tea/coffee, and cake if you choose.

At our General Assembly on Thursday 5th September we were delighted to welcome Jeanette Missons and Jayne Nuttall Blake, President and Director of Nursing Services/Lead nurse respectively, of Cancer Care Javea.

Carole Knott hosted the June 2024 trip to Bioparc / IKEA. Members were given the choice to spend the whole day at Bioparc or shop all day at IKEA and the surrounding Alfafar commercial centre.

The dark clouds finally gave way to some blue sky, and eventually sunshine, as the U3A Vall del Pop members and friends gathered in the garden of Los Arcos, Pedreguer, to unpack their picnics and decorate their tables in anticipation of the performance of The Entertainers. With the passing of Sandra Welham, some four months ago, The Entertainers had restructured their show so that the first set would be a tribute to the life of Sandra and the second set one of dancing and singing in thanks for what she had brought to the lives of so many people.

As you are aware, we sadly lost our dear friend and U3A Secretary, Sandra Welham, to cancer on 29th February this year.
