Our regular meeting wasn’t possible in August, however our first ‘coffee and conversation’ alternate fortnight meeting at the Farmer’s Basket helped to make up for this. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing ‘Car Stories’ memoirs over steaming mugs of cappuccino and hot chocolate. The 500 word topic for our September 21st regular meeting in W4 is ‘For Better For Worse’ - ‘Share your story of a long term romantic relationship and what kept or has kept you together. How did it start? What did/have you learned through the ups and downs?’ As ‘For Better For Worse ‘may be a difficult topic to share in a rural setting with few ‘degrees of separation’ between U3A members, an alternative topic is available- ‘Cringe’. ‘Your eyes squint, your cheeks burn red, your teeth grate. Share a personal cringe-worthy tale of woe that you can’t quite forget!’ We’ve set ourselves a challenge for our next coffee and conversation meeting at the Farmer’s Basket on October 5 which is to write a 500 word bed time story for children set in the Benalla district/North East Victoria.
The 500 words topic for meeting on October 19th in W4 is ‘A Test of Courage’ - ‘Has your courage ever been tested? Tell us a story of your bravery, or when you should have been brave but couldn't summon the courage.’
If you are thinking of joining our group in 2016, perhaps you might like to come along to one of our meetings as a ‘taster’. For more information contact Bev on 5762 8171
