New and returning convenors for 2016

29/2/2016

0 Comments

 
Six new programs, with six new or returning convenors, have now commenced and submitted their first newsletter reports for the year: 
  • Bird Watching (Kathy Costello)
    A new activity for those who would like to know more about birds in the Benalla district, would appreciate help in identifying birds and can bring along a pair of binoculars. 
  • Brain Games (Elspeth Maconachie)
    It is well established that new skills can help build brain pathways with benefits for memory, confidence, happiness and even falls prevention.  Brain Games will offer a variety of entertaining and informative ways to challenge, inform and exercise your brain. 
  • Collectors (Judith Borthwick)
    A new group for those who enjoy collecting and are prepared to show their collection to others.  Interested members who don’t have their own collection are also welcome to attend.
  • Play Reading (Keith Rogers)
    An interactive group for those who have always enjoyed drama and going to the theatre and for those who have  had previous experience in a theatre environment, or always wanted to.  The group will read chosen plays in a relaxed classroom setting.  
  • Rail and Tourism (Bill Dewing)
    Join Bill Dewing for an armchair rail tour of South West Canada and North West America.  Seven sessions, each featuring a DVD.
  • Tech Savvy Drop In (Bev Lee and Tech Savvy mentors)
    A monthly ‘drop in’ group for members keen to develop computer skills and solve problems which come up when using their computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone.  Mentors from the Tech Savvy group will provide one on one assistance; small group tuition or refer on to local IT specialists if required.

The Executive Committee/Programs Committee usually hold a Convenors' meeting in first Semester.  It's on the drawing board - more news later!
