Saturday 26th saw one of the groups first evening social events of the year with over 70 U3A members and guests attending the Hi-Lite bar in Via Park 1 for an enjoyable quiz evening. The quiz was run by the inimitable local personality Ricky Neil who kept everybody entertained and on their toes and smiling all night.

A very good meal and buffet, including wine, was served up at half-time by the pleasant staff and good prizes were awarded to the winners and runners-up of the event. An exceptionally pleasant evening which will be repeated later in the year. So keep your eyes on the website 

Sunday saw the popular Petanca section playing at virtually full capacity at Domino Bar despite a freezing cold wind that, on occasions, moved the coche (jack) around on the piste!! Just an added complication to upset the scoring!! But again, an enjoyable day for all attendees.

If you are short of something to do. Everything you want and need is here on the Costa Blanca for you. €5 per year gives you membership and access to the above activities plus the opportunity to join regular social events and outings. Sooner or later you will wonder why you didn’t join before!

Torrevieja u3a has new group activities, events and outings planned throughout the year with a monthly meeting where you can meet the group leaders and the people behind the whole association.

Once you’re part of it, you can be as busy or quiet as you like but the opportunity for friendship and enjoyment is right under your nose.
