During August, several of the U3A Marina Baixa groups took a short break but are now all restarting again this month. Members have access to 10 groups offering a range of activities or interests which are all offered free of charge as part of the Annual Subscription of 10€. Weekly groups available are Petanca, IT help, Crafts, Chaps and Chats. Monthly groups consist of Watercolour, Wine and Dine, Picnics, Wine Tasting, Warren’s Wanderers, Ten-pin Bowling and Solo Amigos. In addition to these groups on most months there is a trip allowing members to visit places of interest within about a 2 hour drive of Benidorm.
On 4 September U3A Marina Baixa will be returning to the beautiful botanic gardens of L´Albarda in Pedreguer followed by time exploring the historic port of Denia.
20 Year Celebration
On 9 October the Association will be celebrating 20 years of providing local ex-pats with friendship and support. This milestone in its history will be marked with Afternoon Tea at Altea Golf Club and promises to be a memorable occasion for celebrating the success of U3A Marina Baixa. There will be a grand raffle to raise funds for local charities, to which over 2000 euros has already been donated this year.
September General Meeting
The next General Meeting is on Monday 28 September at the Casa de Cultura, Alfaz del Pi starting at 11am. If you would like to become a member why not go along to the meeting at about 10.30am where you will be made most welcome.
