If you were in a class on Monday afternoon 31 August, you would have seen some visitors being shown around the Hub – see the photo above. They were from U3A Network Victoria and Melbourne City U3A, accompanied by a staff member of the City of Melbourne. They were impressed with how welcoming our U3A is and the comradeship between members, volunteers and City of Whitehorse staff.

In this edition, there is advance notice of enrolment dates and limits; some hints about using Member Wizard; reminders about the car park and absences; and an invitation to join us for the Whitehorse Seniors Month Grand Opening.

Welcome to the almost end of Term 2. In the Course Admin area, it has been very busy with making sure all your details are up-to-date before we move over to the new management system, Member Wizard.

A special thank you to Ken Briscoe for leading us through this transition to the new technology. I am sure you all appreciate the time, expertise and commitment needed to make this change possible.

Please read the article, Important Member Wizard Update, from Ken in this newsletter. It will help you to understand what you need to do for an easy transition to the new system.

The 2026 year has commenced. Have there been a few challenges? Yes! But the enthusiasm that you have all brought with you in attending classes makes it all worthwhile.

We are still working with our Class Leaders to try to make sure you will all be placed in at least one class of your choice.

If you are looking to enrol in another class, check if the class is still taking enrolments or is closed. Some classes have been closed due to the waitlist being so large that you would never be accepted into the class in 2026.
