Since Brexit the rules regarding voting rights have changed as British residents of Spain are no longer EU citizens. However, as part of an agreement during the Brexit negociations certain EU countries including Spain retained voting rights for British residents.
It was important to come early to the Vall del Pop U3A’s first meeting of the new season last Thursday, 8th September, as there was lots to do before the meeting.
Many members of our U3A met for the final Coffee Morning before the summer recess at Los Amigos.
On 1st June 1982 a young couple gathered four friends and went to Kidderminster Registrar’s Office to commit themselves to one another – ‘till death do us part’. Now, 40 years on the couple find themselves comfortably retired and living in Spain, after a working life in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. So, to celebrate their Ruby Wedding anniversary the husband offers to take his wife for lunch – ‘so generous after forty years’ she thinks! But then, the car by-passes the chosen restaurant and they turn into the drive of the home of their friends, Chris & Paula Barrett.
With a large number of our members coming from many parts of the United Kingdom we were all a buzz with details of the celebrations planned over the Jubilee weekend in London. So, not to be out done, we decorated the Polivalent in Murla for the June 2nd General Assembly with flags, bunting and memorabilia of the UK Queens 70-year reign.
