SUMMARY:The Earth is not Flat
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alan Hunton \n\n\n\nAncient civilisations had little understanding of our planet and the general opinion was that it was flat or saucer shaped. All the heavenly bodies appeared to revolve around the Earth. Pythagoras and other Greek philosophers working in Alexandria in Egypt during the first millennium BC disproved the flat Earth theory and within a short period of time had discovered the size of the Earth and Moon and the distances between them. The influence of Aristotle and Ptolemy and the teachings of the Church stalled any further progress and it wasnot until the seventeenth century that Kepler and Galileo could show beyond doubt that the planets went round the Sun using the earliest telescopes as aids.We will also discover that in the 18 th Century\, Nevil Maskelyne found a way of ‘weighing’ the Earth by taking a very large plumb line on a series of rambles in the Scottish Highlands.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting- New Date -Tuesday\, 13th May 2025
DESCRIPTION:Our next Wine Tasting will now be on Tuesday\, 13th May\, when ‘the dynamic duo’\, Domingo and Franco\, will be presenting wines from the Corcovo bodega in Valdepeñas.  This tasting was originally scheduled for 10th April\, but it has come to our attention that the April date falls within the UK Easter school holiday period and many of our regular attendees will not be in Spain at that time.  If they are in Spain\, then it is very likely that their family will be visiting.   We want to ensure that Domingo has a well-attended event\, making his 850 km round trip from Valdepeñas worthwhile. \nWe are not yet open for bookings\, but please make a diary note.  Invitations will be sent to all group members in April. \nIf you wish to join the group\, please email   wine.tasting@u3amoraira-teulada.org

SUMMARY:Sorolla\, Benlliure and Blasco: Valencia's Greatest Painter\, Sculptor and Writer
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Atkinson \n\n\n\nWe are absolutely delighted to welcome back one of our favourite speakers\, Peter Atkinson\, who is returning to this area for a short time from his new life in Canada and has kindly fitted in one of his superb talks for our members whilst here. \n\n\n\nHis presentation will explore the work and lives of these three men. Each was a brilliant and prolific artist in his field and\, remarkably\, they were all born in the city during a five-year period in the 1860s: painter\, Joaquín Sorolla y Bastide (1863-1923); sculptor\, Mariano Benlliure y Gil (1862-1947); and writer\, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1867-1928). They knew each other and\, without being particularly close\, they were friends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlmost all of Joaquín’s work is oil on canvas and was mostly done outdoors under the Mediterranean sun; he is known as a “painter of light”. He painted people at work and play\, did a lot of landscapes and garden scenes\, and accepted many commissions for portraits. His family (wife and three children) were often his subjects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMariano had intended to be a painter but\, on a visit to Rome\, the work of Michelangelo inspired him to become a sculptor. While most of his work is bronze\, he was also a gifted chiseller of marble. He produced many busts and close to one hundred monumental works\, often large and complex and mostly in Spain (Valencia and Madrid in particular). \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVicente had the most varied life of the three. With 50 titles\, he was principally a novelist\, the early ones being set around the Albufera lake to the south of Valencia. He also wrote 15 non-fiction books and was a journalist; he founded a newspaper for which he wrote almost a thousand articles. And he was a left-wing\, republican politician: anti-monarchy\, anti-Church\, and anti-landowner. He spent a decade in the Cortes\, the national parliament\, and had three stints in jail. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI hope that as many members as possible will join us to enjoy this excellent speaker.

SUMMARY:Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
DESCRIPTION:5:30pm doors open\, for 6:00pm start (ends 8:05pm) \n\n\n\nU3A Membership Card for entrance (free) – NO booking required \n\n\n\nIn the early 1970s during the Cold War\, the head of British Intelligence\, Control (Sir John Hurt)\, resigns after an operation in Budapest\, Hungary goes badly wrong. It transpires that Control believed one of four senior figures in the service was in fact a Russian Agent\, a mole\, and the Hungaryoperation was an attempt to identify which one it was. George Smiley (Gary Oldman) had been forced into retirement by Control’s departure\, but is asked by a senior government figure to investigate a story told to him by rogue Agent Ricky Tarr (Tom Hardy)\, that there was a mole. Smiley considers that the failure of the Hungary operation and the continuing success of Operation Witchcraft (an apparent source of significant Soviet Intelligence) confirms this\, and takes up the task of finding him. \n\n\n\n.
