Focus on Mike Frost – Groups Coordinator

Mike Frost – Member #3

Mike Frost is one of the most familiar faces in the U3A Jávea. As well as being Member #3, Mike was the founder of the U3A Jávea.

Mike is currently our Groups Coordinator. Which is a complicated title which means that, when necessary, he helps and advises our Group Leaders on the best way to set up and run their Groups.

Mike is also the leader of our Travel Group and the leader of the Live Model Art Group where he gets the chance to practice one of his passions in life, painting in watercolours.
