Welcome to your u3a Vall del Pop. Do you know how to find out about all the groups, trips and events we organise for members´ enjoyment or the general information we pass on? There are several ways we communicate. Please don’t be afraid to ask if you can´t find the information you are looking for. We are here to help.

Thank you messages received from the charities we donated to for 2024 from Goodwill funds

You may recall back in November we held a music and supper evening at Pepe´s in Alcalali to raise funds for the Valencia flood appeal. We also added to this the funds raised at the November General Assembly and the proceeds from the Christmas dinner dance raffle. This was in addition to the shopping we purchased immediately after the flood from Goodwill funds which was kindly delivered for us by Project 4 All who were helping on the front line.

On Sunday 8th December 90 members got dressed up in their finest and prepared to be wined and dined and to party at the stunning Vall de Pop restaurant in Lliber. If you have visited there you will know it is quite special, a lovely old building in a beautiful setting, the stunning views best enjoyed from the terrace in daylight. But at night it is cosy and intimate, especially with the fire lit and beautifully decorated for Christmas.

On a gloriously warm and sunny winter´s day which felt more like summer, Sunday 1st December, we held our first ever Christmas fayre and car boot sale on the rastro site, Jalon. The fayre had previously been run for the last 10 years by ARC and the car boot replaced the one that was rained off on 27th October. We took a chance combining the two and it paid off!

We were delighted to welcome 82 members to our Christmas General Assembly in Murla on Thursday 5th December. Fortunately, the weather was kind to us after a very wet November meeting and even heavy rain the day before! Perhaps a tad chilly until we worked out how to increase the heating!
