A warm welcome to all members returning from the term break. I do hope that many of you were able to catch up with family and friends and enjoy your three-week break from U3A.
I am pleased to inform you that U3A Nunawading is again open to new members from the commencement of Term 3.

If you are looking for a class to join in Term 3 at Nunawading U3A, there are places in my science class – Curious about Science of Air and Water.
In Terms 1 and 2, we concentrated on the molecules which make up the air we breathe every day, and we explored some of the surprising effects of air pressure.
