President’s Report

President Gary Walker receiving the Deakin Award from Matt Gregg on behalf of our U3A

Welcome back to all members for Term 3. Hopefully many of you were able to get away for a week or so to enjoy some warmer weather.

During our term break the Member Wizard implementation team were hard at work putting the finishing touches to the new member system ready for launch on 9 July. Well done to the members who have registered and to those that have not please do so as no registration means no enrolment for 2027.

Congratulations to Ken Briscoe and the implementation team for their excellent work.

Monday 24 November was our first day for 2026 enrolments and as at Friday 5 December we have over 2200 new and current members enrolled for 2026. It was great to see that nearly 1800 members enrolled online with the balance enrolling at the Hub.

To our new members I extend a very warm welcome to U3A Nunawading and hope you enjoy 2026 at our U3A. Early in the New Year you will be invited to a morning tea with our Member Liaison team which will help you familiarise yourself with your new surroundings and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
