The U3A movement is a volunteer organisation providing education, creative and leisure opportunities in a friendly environment for retired and semi retired and semi retired members of the community.
Benalla U3A has a room within the seniors building complex, which is used every day of the week for one or more programs.
It also runs activities at the art gallery (Art Appreciation), Benalla Leisure Centre (Lifeball) and the library (eBooks and Let's Talk Books), as well as bird watching, visits to wineries in the district and garden visits.
U3A's 'Chat n Chew' activity is one of their most popular, having lunch at a different local eatery once a month.
Benalla now has 289 members, many of whom come and go through the year, after all, we are retired and holidays and family visits are an important part of life.
It is one of 109 U3A groups representing 37,000 members across Victoria.
The U3A Newsletter is delivered by email or post each month to keep the public up to date with what is happening.
Benalla U3A is happy to welcome new members.
So don't be shy, come and join in, make your retirement years full of learning and friendship, meet new people and enjoy what U3A Benalla has to offer.
