Recommendation re mask wearing

The wearing of masks when attending U3A classes and activities is a personal choice, but Class Leaders have the right to request members of their class to wear a mask while in that classroom.

Please do not attend any venue where a U3A Nunawading class or activity is taking place if you are unwell in any way, even if you have tested negative for COVID.

Members are encouraged to follow medical advice and have COVID-19 booster vaccinations as soon as they are eligible.

Put that away! Tidy up now!

Hurry up, we are going to be late! How often have you heard this, or said it? We know that saving time is almost as important as saving money.
