The u3a Vall del Pop team was established a few years ago to raise funds for local charities in need by way of holding fundraising events. It does not receive any money from members´ or central funds. These are managed by the Treasurer and are totally separate.

On what turned out to be a bright, mild winter´s day after fears of rain, (it really does shine on the righteous!), we held our 2nd Xalo Christmas fayre on the rastro on Sunday 30th November.

97 guests turned out in their finest for our annual Christmas party at Vall de Pop restaurant in Lliber. The ladies sparkled and the men scrubbed up well with an array of Christmas shirts, sparkly bow ties, tuxedos and full Scottish evening dress.

As I write this, we have just completed the busiest period in our annual calendar of events. This started with the very successful Jalon Christmas Fayre on Sunday November 30th, followed by the Christmas themed General Assembly on December 4th and our Christmas dinner-dance at the lovely Vall de Pop restaurant in Lliber on Sunday December 7th.

WOW!!!! 66 members joined us at Pepe´s in Alcalali on Friday 31st October for a ghoulish Halloween event and it was truly spectacular!

It was a delight to visit Restaurant Nou Portet, Murla this month. More of a delight was the beautiful weather allowing us to take our lunch on their terrace. Sixteen ladies all enjoyed good food, drinks and each others company.
