Summer Barbecue June 2011
Our first U3A BBQ was organised by the Social Team of Sheila Rolt and Barbara Hill, as the first of our two 5 year anniversary celebrations. What a party!! Well over 100 people turned up. Jenni and the team at Casa La Pedrera certainly pulled out all the stops and arranged a veritable feast with plenty for everyone. The musicians certainly added to the atmosphere singing everything from Folk, Country & Western and through all those unforgettable hits of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Feet were tapping, people joining in singing, and then the dancing started around the poolside. The sunset didn't disappoint either. A fantastic sight over the lake and everyone stood to watch the last dying rays drop behind the mountain. What a sight!! Then, as the stars came out the music tempo changed and we had a Barn Dance session complete with instruction. This was a surprise that the musicians had kept up their sleeve. What a laugh! I think it will take me a while to get over that high speed version of "Strip the Willow" I was "forced" to take part in!! There have already been requests for a U3A Barn Dance. Food for thought!!
