The Vall del Pop U3A continued their early season Christmas celebrations with a Christmas themed General assembly last Thursday 2nd December. The business side of the GA was quickly dispensed with so that the partying could begin.

WOW Many thanks to everyone who came along to the recent General Assembly and helped to raise 407.50€ for local charities.

They used to say ‘post early for Christmas’, but the internet and Brexit are rapidly reducing this task. So, with more covid variants about, the Vall del Pop U3A decided it was time to ‘Party Early This Christmas’ and held their Christmas dinner at Pepe’s restaurant in Alcalali on 23rd November – the start of thirty days of partying.

At last, many of our groups have been able to restart after so many delays due to Covid. On behalf of all Group members I would like to say thank you to all group leaders for successfully managing to “function” through these challenging times and we look forward to an expansion of these group activities as we all adjust to the new post-covid arrangements.

There was a good turnout at our second General Assembly back at the Polivalent in Murla last Thursday 4th November despite the wintry turn in the weather. The association business was quickly dispensed with reports that our membership numbers have continued to increase and the Groups are mostly all back up and running although some, such as Bridge are looking for more members.

After 18 months of inactivity the sunny autumnal weather has all the groups planning activities, so they can catch up with their members.
