President's Message

What a wonderful concert U3A Benalla had on Wednesday 20th November 2024. Thank you to Janet Douglas and the Recorder players, Heather Wallace and the Ukulele players and the Singing for Fun group for providing such varied entertainment. ​
Janet Douglas (Recorder), Heather Wallace (Ukes4Fun) and Singing for Fun's Margaret Merriman and Kieran Smith.
Also, thank you to Dorothy Webber and the Patchwork and Craft group for the fantastic display of their charity quilts and other items. The film about Cooking Solo was also very informative, and it was great to see such enjoyment being had from the cooking course.

For more information about the concert please read the Meet and Mingle report by Doug Smith.
