U3A Nunawading is lucky to have a great group of dedicated and talented class leaders and volunteers who enable us to offer a diverse range of courses and activities. To get to know them a little better, we plan to feature one of these members in each newsletter.

In this edition of Snippets, the Biscuit Tin project was in the news, our newsletter team has new members, and we bring you news of three community initiatives to tantalise various interests: low impact basketball, a new community shed, and sustainable workshops that can save you money.
