Welcome back! It is pleasing to know we have all weathered the coronavirus and are now able to continue our activities.
The Coin Collectors Group met at the RSL Rooms on the 22nd February. Six members attended and enjoyed a very pleasant morning's discussion as Alex displayed some proof sets of the Sydney Olympics, Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Centenary of Federation, Millennium series and Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. Thanks go to the RSL and RSL Secretary Heather Hartland for enabling us to use the RSL rooms for our session.
With the Senior Citizens renovations completed we will return to the U3A Meeting Room at the the U3A allotted time of 10.am to 12.midday on the 3rd Monday of the month. Our next meeting will be on Monday15 March.
Unfortunately the changed time slot has meant some members are unable to attend, however, our numbers have remained the same at 13 with new enrolments. Welcome Gary Edwards, Sallie Hann, David Lowlng and Judy Stewart - we trust you will enjoy the Coin Collectors group.
Annette and I are moving to Echuca to live at the end of this month .Doug Smith has volunteered to organise and preside over our Coin Collectors' meeting,while Gary Edwards is happy to express his knowledge on Australian coins to help discussions
I have enjoyed organising our group and trust you have all enjoyed the discussion as much as I have, It has been interesting to learn how, when and why we have collected coins
I wish you all the best for the coming year and hope to visit a meeting or two in future.

Alex, Thank you so much for inspiring and establishing the Coin Collectors group at U3A Benalla. Your understanding of coin collections and collectors and the way in which you have engaged and followed through with group members, have resulted in an ongoing group of keen coin collectors. Your personal coin collection and passion for coin collecting proved inspirational! We wish you and Annette well in your return to Echuca, where you both grew up, Perhaps you might set up a Coin Collectors group there. You will be missed. Bev Lee, Programs Committee
