Last Thursday, 3rd November, another full house of members attended the Vall del Pop U3A General Assembly for what turned out to be an entertaining and informative morning. Prior to the meeting we were all able to enjoy Paula’s home-made sausage rolls with our coffee whilst we tackled Bill’s Quiz and let the ladies perused the pre-loved stall. In excess of 160euro for the Goodwill Teams charity fund – thank you to everyone who contributed.

Last week new members, Liz and Alistair Macleod, hosted a fun evening of Trivia (Quiz) and Bingo at Pepe’s restaurant in Alcalai. This was a new event for Vall del Pop U3A but 40 members decided to test their brains on the trivia quiz, working in teams of four, and their luck with the bingo. We all agreed that a simple meal choice of chicken & chips  or fish & chips would be good, and I have to say that Pepe's team did us proud.

On Tuesday 18th October, on a gloriously sunny autumn afternoon, 31 ladies from the Vall del Pop U3A enjoyed a lovely get together and lunch at La Solana restaurant, Alcalali. With the weather being so kind we were able to sit outside in the garden at two long tables, which allowed for lots of chatting and laughter.

On Thursday 13th October 32 U3A Vall del Pop members enjoyed a fabulous Indian evening at the New India Gate, Orba.

The Vall del Pop U3A started their General Assembly on 6th October with a busy pre-meeting period for booking trips and events, perusing the Pre-Loved Table and, my personal favourite, enjoying the freshly prepared cakes. Paula did us proud this month with a wide variety of delicious cakes, the sponge with fresh strawberry was well worth a second piece – but I had just eaten the last slice!!
