Only three weeks until our U3A September break. How time flies when we do something we enjoy and mix with like-minded people.
To help you plan ahead, in this update we have a list of new and returning courses for Term 4 and advance notice of Christmas preparations, plus a treat for those who love science, and important reminders about recording absences and using the dishwasher.
I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday and were able to stay warm. Welcome back!
Our update this month includes details on Science Week; 2025 enrolments; classes with availability for Term 3 and 4; a talk on Antarctica; a callout for future class leaders; and a reminder about absence notifications.
Term 2 is now drawing to a close. Term 2 is now drawing to a close. We have quite a few new courses starting up in Terms 3 and 4 – some are listed at the bottom of this article while you will find Term 3 and 4 computer classes in a separate article in this newsletter. If you want to know whether there is room in a class, we now have a “spare” computer at reception where you can check for yourself – read on for details.
Here we are, half way through Term 2. A couple of reminders for you; a note on some issues we’ve had with emails; new classes available in Term 3; and some class leader changes.
The end of Term 1 arrived very quickly with the Course Admin team checking that the attendance lists would be as up-to-date as possible for Term 2. We have included a list of classes that still have vacancies if you would like to try something new.
We are fast approaching the end of Term 1, which has been a busy time for our terrific leaders with all the new and returning courses, and for all our members. Judging by the buzz at the Hub, I think everyone is enjoying their classes and the opportunity to socialise. Term 2 is not far away now, and brings with it quite a few new courses – see below for more details.
A reminder that Term 1 finishes on Thursday 28 March (not Friday), and Term 2 begins on Monday 15 April after a two-week break.
Welcome back to classes for Term 1!
Term 1 started off with a real bang, with the Hub once again full of members going to and from classes, chatting, finding their way around, and settling into their 2024 classes. A very hectic week for the Course Admin Team (Elsie, Ken, Mai, Cynthia, and new member Ian), and for the Reception Desk volunteers who did a terrific job handling hundreds of queries.
Welcome to the U3A 2024 year! In this update we list a number of class vacancies and new classes you might also like to consider, and there is important information about enrolling online and car parking. We hope you have been able to find classes of interest to you and we thank our leaders who give their time and share their skills so generously.
We’ve had a bumper enrolment for 2024, and there are some important updates on classes, leaders and car parking, so keep abreast of what’s happening in this informative report from the Admin team.
The Course Admin team hope you have all enjoyed your U3A classes this year. Enrolment information for 2024 is in the body of this newsletter or available on the website.
