Gauging interest in a U3A Coin Collectors Group

25/8/2019

 
People over the years have bags, boxes or tins of old coins of pre decimal and decimal currency.  My interest started in the early 1960’s when Australia went to decimal currency in February 1966, and I am still collecting today.
 
If this is an interest or hobby of yours and you would like to discuss the significance of coins and notes with all their different designs that commemorate the events and people that create a history of Australia perhaps we could look at forming a group with U3A.

To gauge the interest in coin collecting could you please contact me, Alex Adkins on 576262457, Mobile 0427820287 with the view of having a meeting and organising an ongoing U3A Coin Collectors group.

Celebrating our new 'Be Connected' Course

1/8/2019

 
​U3A Benalla welcomed thirty-four people to the BBQ held on Wednesday 3rd July to mark the beginning of the Be Connected course. Cooking for the BBQ was capably done by Benalla Lions Club in the carport near our U3A entrance. Those who came to the BBQ enjoyed sausages, beef or chicken hamburgers, fried onions with various sauces and cold slaw followed by tea or coffee and small cakes. Everyone settled in the U3A room to enjoy their lunch with plenty of chatter and a great atmosphere. We had Meg from the Benalla “Ensign” there with her camera, and a good report of the event appeared in the “Ensign” the following Wednesday.

The Be Connected course is being promoted by the Federal Government in an aim to get more senior Australians familiar with the Internet and doing things online. U3A Benalla applied for and received a Community Engagement Grant to hold the BBQ on 3rd July. The BBQ was to encourage not only U3A members but all people over 55 in Benalla to come and be part of the Be Connected program. 

U3A Benalla is conducting the Be Connected course using the overhead projector in our U3A room every Wednesday from 2pm to 4pm.  You can follow the progress of the course on the Tech Savvy Hands On - "Be Connected" page on this website.
