Following our summer break I am sure class members will be roaring to get back and share their angst at the state of the political scene. We have a new mayor, a new local member of parliament and a new state government, with an upper house controlled by independents; just like federal politics!
Overseas news will continue to be an important part of our agenda and we will choose a new focus for the year ahead. We welcome new members who enjoy debating and sharing their ideas on current events. Terry I want to thank my co-tutor for the year, Laurence Neal for stepping in and saving my sanity in my first year as president. I have found it refreshing to watch how Laurence runs the class and this is what U3A is all about, learning and sharing. Laurence will continue to visit Benalla U3A next year in his new role as tutor for Comparative Religion.
Politics this year was at times a course in religion as we dissected the different factions in Sunni, Shia and Kurdish political forces and even the politics of the Vatican. Our last class for the year is just before the state election so I guess that will dominate proceedings, but in a year of political turmoil I have learnt to be flexible in my planning!
