P3A

 

The Aphrodite Seminar Group was founded on 20 October 2025 after the closure of the Pissouri-based A3A (Aphrodite Third Age). Aphrodite Seminar Group is now an affiliate of P3A.

Aphrodite Seminar Group’s ethos is to educate, inform, support and entertain.

The group’s annual plan runs from September to April each year, avoiding the demands of the summer heat and travel season.

Its programme is focused on current affairs that relate to Cyprus, its geographical and political interests and its modern history. It also seeks to inform the British community on residential, legal and taxation matters. 

The first seminar was held in December 2025, with speakers from the British High Commission (BHC) in Nicosia and CIFSA presenting Consular responsibilities and the effects of the UK November 2025 budget. Information was also given about Attendance Allowance (AA) a universal non means tested benefit and new travel rules and an update on the crematorium.  

Next Event:  Tuesday 24 March, 10.00 am, at the Poseidonia Hotel Limassol

A Helicopter view of the Middle East, covering geopolitical and defence issues, presented by the British Deputy High Commissioner and the Defence Attache. 

Further programme highlights for spring 2026

• April 2026: Curious happenings at Larnaca airport, 1988
• May 2026: The Nuremburg Rallies, 1933-38 

Meetings are generally held in the Pissouri area – the venue for each event is decided according to the subject matter and appropriate audience. The Seminars are by invitation and a fee is charged to contribute to refreshment and room hire.  Contact the group leader for further details.
