So, the new year is with us and its time for us to start planning and getting ready for the challenges this will bring, whether we want them or not [Brexit]! So why not join a group, meet new people and experience new challenges.
This group has gone from strength to strength under the careful tutelage of Peter Tomlin. He decided that in 2019, he would step down as leader, but continue as part of the group for our many Field Trips, and the group are very grateful for all the advice and encouragement he has given to us.
Everyone knows that regular exercise is good for the body. But exercise is also one of the most effective ways to improve your mental health. Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and more.
There was excitement in the air as, just after sunrise on a beautiful December morning, forty three members of the U3A Vall del Pop assembled in Jalon to start our special Christmas break in Nerja, Southern Spain.
Although it was raining, plenty of members turned up - in fact so many we were hard pressed to find enough chairs! The Vall del Pop singers entertained us with carols to start the proceedings and the capacity crowd were mercifully spared a long 'admin' session and got down to the fun, mince pies and cava straight away.
Tuesday 20th November was a special night for the U3A Vall del Pop Singers when they organised a concert of popular songs from the shows including Oliver, Joseph and Sweet Charity. The evening got off to a great start with Cava and Buck Fizz.
Philip Ashley the Musical Director added to the evening with a solo performance of a tune from Aspects of Love and a Neil Diamond tune “Beautiful Noise”.
