December Snippets includes the U3A festive activities at the Hub; two of our intrepid walking groups; details regarding the Whitehorse Carols and Summer School Holiday program and a special Aqualink offer for new members.
Christmas Hub festivities
There were smiles and laughter and a delicious array of food as many groups celebrated the end of a busy and joyous year with classes back in full swing at the Hub throughout 2022.
The photo gallery highlights the fun had by all.
Christmas Workshops add fun
Four Christmas Workshops were held over the past two weeks. There were two Handmade Christmas Card workshops, a Christmas Gnomes Workshop and a Paper Christmas Decorations Workshop.
Year ends on a high note
The Hub was humming with a musical extravaganza presented by the Choir, Swing Band and Progressive Guitar Group on Tuesday 29 November in Studio 2.
Thank you to all the members who gave a fantastic performance enjoyed by an enthusiastic crowd.
Stoic Nordic walkers carry on
By Kathy Leitch, Nordic Walking Group Leader
Intrepid Nordic walkers braved the weather at Lysterfield Lake on 15 November and tested whether our waterproof boots were actually waterproof!
Happy wanderings
Ann Janssen’s Walking group followed the fast-flowing Merri Creek through Coburg, then made their way to Brunswick and the Ceres Environmental Park on 15 November.
Lucky there was no rain to spoil the fun and chatter enjoyed along the 7km journey. This was the 10th memorable walk by the group that has covered areas of interest across Melbourne during 2022.
