Welcome to the U3A Oliva
We are a friendly branch of the world-wide U3A organisation, whose purpose is to provide activities for those in their ‘Third Age’ – after education and full-time employment.

What's coming up this month...
We are a friendly group meeting on alternate Tuesday mornings helping each other to improve our Spanish.
Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a jack.
Canasta (Spanish for “basket”) is a card game of the rummy family of games. Although many variations exist for two, three, five or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards.
We’re a Group of mixed abilities and we are always looking for more players. Perhaps you have played Whist or similar games in the past and would like to learn to play bridge but thought it too complicated. If so, come and find out for yourself, you are most welcome!
We are always pleased to see new and returning players whether you haven’t played since your school days or have never played before and are keen to see if Badminton is for you.
It is the one thing in life where feeling better is pretty much guaranteed.
Keep checking here for updates!

Amblers and Walkers,
Due to a rather wet winter and spring period necessitating having to cancel a number of ambles, we were hopeful of extending our normal ambling season which usually ends in April. However on a reconnaissance walk on Monday we were reminded just how hot and energy draining it gets in May. Therefore, I feel it prudent to avoid the dangers of excessive exertion in high temperatures and cease U3A ambles until mid-September.
