So begins another year! I hope that 2021 will be easier than last year for all of us.

One piece of good news is that the new Nunawading Community Hub has been officially open to the public since 6 January.

It is certainly an amazing building with lots of lovely natural light and space – so different from our previous accommodation! We have ample storage space for our equipment, which is more than we had anticipated. It is going to be a pleasure to be in such a lovely environment.

Finally, after a long wait, the new Nunawading Community Hub is opening in January! On Tuesday 8 December half of our Committee of Management had their first official tour of the new Hub, and on Thursday 10 December, we began moving in. Pictured here are some of the Committee taking a well-earned break from unpacking.

Due to Covid restrictions numbers allowed into the Hub at present are strictly limited and you cannot enter without an appointment. The first opportunity U3A members will have of visiting the Hub will be when they attend Summer School classes.
