What’s on in your area U3A Marina Baixa
Our summer BBQ was held on Sunday 31 July at the home of our secretary Joan Flint and her husband Bill. Over 50 members attended and the atmosphere was terrifi c.
There was a quiz with a very Spanish theme and “feely bags” which caused huge hilarity with some of the guesses as to what they contained. The food was never ending and of excellent quality and the result of detailed planning and organisation by Joan and help in preparation earlier in the day by all of the committee. Several members cooled off by using the pool which
included games of “pool net-ball”. The fun began at 4.30 in the afternoon and continued late into the evening. There will be several photographs posted to the website in due course but this one shows the magnifi cent setting.

After completing a Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in English Literature at the University of Sydney in 1994, she furthered her musical studies at the Royal College of Music in London, and on graduating in 1997 was awarded the Madeline Walton Guitar Prize.
She has participated in numerous master classes with some of the top guitarists and composers, including John Williams.
As well as giving guitar recitals she has also released 2 CDs, the second featuring Spanish and South American music, and is planning to release a further CD in 2012.
The plan for the evening is for everyone to arrive at the restaurant at 6.45 pm and at 7.00 pm the one hour recital will begin.
In order for everyone to enjoy this fully, and out of courtesy to Sam, no drinks will be served whilst she is playing so that everyone can enjoy the music.
