This is the month you have been waiting for – the release of course details for 2027, and enrolment later in the month! Online enrolment is quick and easy, but you need to be registered with Member Wizard first.
In this newsletter, I am delighted to report on how we contributed to the Whitehorse Spring Festival, celebrated awards to Elsie Mutton and Brigitte Ciurleo, and held a Sausage Sizzle for Seniors Month.
Enrolments for 2027
Next year’s classes will be displayed on our U3A website from 10 November, and printed booklets will be available at the U3A Reception Desk.
Enrolments for 2027 will commence on Monday 23 November for our current members and I urge members to enrol online from 9 am on that Monday. This is by far the quickest and most efficient way to enrol for 2027.
Note that you won’t be able to login until you have registered as a returning member on the new Member Wizard “portal”. Instructions on how to register are on our website. Information on how to enrol online is included in this newsletter.
Ringwood electorate Victoria Day Awards ceremony
On Wednesday 14 October 2026, our Course Administrator, Elsie Mutton OAM, was honoured with a Victoria Day award to recognise her significant contribution to the residents of the Ringwood electorate. She is the driving force behind our offering of 300 or so classes to 3000 members, many from the Ringwood electorate.
The organisers of this award also presented Brigitte Ciurleo, who had received a U3A Victoria Tutor Recognition Award for 2026, with a further recognition for that earlier award!
Whitehorse Spring Festival
U3A Nunawading had many talented performers at the Whitehorse Spring Festival on Sunday 18 October at the Whitehorse Civic Precinct and The Round. Thank you to all those who contributed, especially Committee of Management members who gave their time to staff our stand, and the music and dance groups, ably organised by Paulina Chong.
Sausage Sizzle
On Wednesday 28 October we celebrated Seniors Month with a sausage sizzle. Members enjoyed a sausage in bread with onion, a cool drink, and lots of laughs. Many thanks to the Social Committee, led by Bronwyn Hughes and her committee, and to the great contribution by the BBQ cooks.
Until next time…
Colin
