Document Title

U3A Marina Baixa covers the areas of Alfas del Pi, Altea, Benidorm, Bolulla, Callosa d’en Sarria, Finestrat, La Nucia, Polop and Villajoyosa.

U3A enhances our lives, enables us to make new friends and to continue learning in a mutually supportive environment.  The group leaders come from within the membership and are people who feel confident to share their knowledge, past experiences and expertise with others.  U3A is a non-profit making organisation and the association is worldwide.

VISITORS AND FRIENDS

May we remind you that visitors and friends may attend one event or group on one occasion only.  There is no charge for this, unless a charge of €1 is already understood for group leaders paperwork.  If visitors wish to attend any event or group again there are two options. One option is taking up membership by paying the relevant membership fee for the remaining months of the year. This is in accordance with the constitution. Alternatively, if a member's short-stay visitors will be attending more than one event during their stay with you then you must purchase an "Associate Membership" card for €1 for each person. These are available from any committee member.  This card will be valid from the first date of use and for one month from that date. It will entitle your visitor/s to attend groups and events with you during the month of validity. 

It's easy to join, just come along to one of our monthly meetings (click here to find out more).

PREVIOUS EVENTS



INTERNATIONAL DAY - Well, for the Committee the day started at 8am with frantic setting up of the tent. There were curtains to hang, banner to erect, trellis and "garden to grow". The tent was brought to life when the eye-catching "Ye Olde Tea Shoppe" facia was fixed to the front. Then blue cloths on each table together with a rose plant made the whole appearance very attractive and inviting.


Very soon the boiler was ready to make pots of tea for one, two, three and more in beautiful collectors teapots, visitors selected cakes from a wonderful variety. The committee would like to take this opportunity to thank those members who came along and brought their home made cakes and scones with them throughout the day. We were selling tea, coffee and cake continually from just before 10am until almost 4pm.  What a successful day, filled with song, dance and plenty of atmosphere created from around the world.

The Ayuntamiento have given us a certificate of thanks and on the reverse is a selection of photos of the whole day.  Please click here to view these together with a close up of the U3A




EUROPE DAY Sunday 13th May 2012  


Although the parade was significantly smaller than the previous year, the atmosphere certainly made up for it.  There was plenty of noise as we made our way from the Market to the Anchor.  After the opening speeches by the Mayor there was music and refreshments.  We would like to thank the members who came along either in the parade or met us at the anchor.  At 3pm the winners of the painting competition were announced.  The prize went to a member of The Lions Club - better luck next time for our members exhibits!   The music, singing and dancing carried on late into the afternoon.
