U3A Benalla has grown energetically over 30 years of serving the local community. What began with just a few courses now offers around 48, reflecting the curiosity and enthusiasm of its members. Early classes were held in private homes before moving to old school buildings. Today U3A operates from its current premises in Benalla. From geology in the early days to today’s wide mix—from Mah-jong and wine appreciation to exploring the universe—volunteer convenors share their knowledge and passion. Come and hear the story of this vibrant journey, with highlights, venues and photos from the years along the way.

Sunday 3 May - National Trust History Month - Cottage Hospitals in Benalla: 1890 – 1940 – Dr Meg Dillon 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM, 14 Mair St, Benalla
“Caught in a threshing machine? Broken, infected leg? Pneumonia? Giving birth to your sixth child? These are some of the problems ordinary Benalla district folk faced in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cottage hospitals in private homes, staffed by nurses and charging modest fees, were one of the answers. Come and find out about these local innovations in health care and the indefatigable nurses who set them up and maintained them.” (Meg is a U3A member/convenor and will be incorporating some of Judith Borthwick's research into Benalla Hospitals and Nurses of the Early 1900's into her presentation).
