Dear Members,
We had another successful General Assembly this month. The room was full again, Marian White kindly decorated the tables, Paul Corazzo serenaded us with some Dean Martin and other classics, the Goodwill team had made a wonderful selection of valentine cakes and Paula prepared a rather challenging Valentine’s trivia quiz, all to get us in a romantic mood ahead of Valentine’s Day.

On Wednesday 10th December 2025, 21 of our members enjoyed a lovely festive lunch at the bistro El Taller in Jalon. The food and atmosphere was great and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Santa/Papa Noel paid a very welcome visit to the children of Murla school on Thursday 18th December with a sack full of sweets for the children (and staff!).

Dear Members,
President’s Message – “Your u3a Needs You”
Happy New Year! I hope that 2026 can be as happy and healthy for everyone as we can reasonably expect at our age.

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.
