Jávea U3A ready for action
JÁVEA U3A has a new executive committee in place for the coming term, even though the association was unable to hold its annual meeting this year due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
The AGM would normally be held on the last Wednesday of March but, instead the serving committee, with the addition of three co-opted members was confirmed.
Mike Cox will continue as president along with secretary Margaret March, treasurer Sally Rush and communications officer Ian Rogerson. New to the committee are Claude Grealy (vice-president), Henrik Rasmussen (membership secretary) and U3A Javea founder member Mike Frost as groups co-ordinator.
Instead of the AGM, the March general meeting was replaced by an online Zoom meeting, featuring a presentation by member Peter Atkinson entitled 'Guernica by Pablo Picasso – a biography of the painting'.
A total of 31 members logged on to view the presentation, which told of how the painting was inspired by other artists’ works as well as the atrocity itself and about its journeys through many countries before it finally came 'home' to Spain.
Regular activities have had to be cancelled over the last year because of the pandemic, but fortunately some outdoor groups have been able to restart, such as badminton, padel and table-tennis – and it is hoped that more groups will be able to resume soon with the relaxation of coronavirus measures.
