●  NOT JUST FOLK MUSIC GROUP

Please make a note of 24th March for the meeting of our Not Just Folk Music Group. We are hoping to have a folk artiste from Dorset joining us at our group meeting in March.

Pam Dentith is a well known local folk singer from the Weymouth area, and has actively supported folk music activities in the UK helping to organise, run, and also perform at many folk festivals and concerts over a considerable period of time. I am sure she will give us some excellent performances from her repertoire, which is extensive and extremely varied.

Anyone wishing to join us on that occasion must let me know at folk.music@u3ajavea.org in plenty of time so that I can ensure we get a venue that can take us all. Paul Wessendorff.

●  Computers – Basic Skills

There are a number of people in the Javea U3A who would like use their PC more but do not know where to start! This short course of 6 weeks, 90 minutes each session, is defined to help absolute beginners. For further details, or your expression of interest, please contact Wilma Stevenson at u3acomputers@wilmastevenson.com.

●  St. Valentines Ball

We would like to thank all of our members who attended the St. Valentine’s Ball for making this event such an enjoyable occasion. Our warmest thanks are also extended to the many sponsors who so generously donated the prizes for the raffle (which in total were valued at over €500), and to our members for buying the tickets. A special thank you to Carrasco for the excellent dinner and service which they provided, and also for their generous contribution to the Alzheimers Day Centre. We are delighted to announce that all of this help resulted in a grand total of €1824.37 being raised for the Centre, and this is going to be used to purchase a TV, a music centre, percussion instruments and numerous other games. All of which will bring some joy into the lives of these patients.

●  FOR SALE, RECYCLE OR WANTED

At the Parador meeting we will have a board for you to advertise items you wish to SELL, RECYCLE (give away) or WANTED. To advertise your item please contact Jean at urecyclesale@yahoo.co.uk Please make sure you put all the details about the item, and your contact number or email address. We will presume you have sold, recycled or found the item before the next meeting so if you wish the same advert to go on the board again make sure you contact Jean and ask for the advert to be resubmitted.

●  BOOK SWAP & AUDIO BOOK SWAP.

Brenda will be pleased to see you at the Parador meeting in the foyer. Remember to bring along your books or audio books, there is a small charge of 50c if you have no book to swap, this money will go towards the U3A chosen charity.
