May Report

31/5/2016

 
The guest speaker for the May Meet & Mingle was not available, but the Flexible Learning Team offered to host a coffee morning allowing students to practise their catering skills.  A pleasant session ensued.  I filled in with one of my DVDs of old Melbourne street scenes and Dorothy’s quiz had members guessing: “What’s his name?” seemed popular.

As the newsletter goes to press the first of John Barry’s Legal Matters is due.  The two sessions were quickly filled. We hope John can run more sessions next year.

We are waiting news of a Federal grant that we sought with the Council.  As we are now in election mode the government is in slumber, oops caretaker mode and no decisions can be made till after the elections.  Just in case you start grumbling think of the Americans as they struggle through a year of Presidential Primaries before elections!

I have had terrific feed-back on new classes this year and we have been complimented on the wide variety of courses on offer.  Two of our members have offered their home for a series of short evening classes for small groups.  We will be interested to see how this works out.  In June we will host a Regional U3A meeting and that is another opportunity to find out about courses that have worked at one of our neighbouring U3As.

I hope you are enjoying the change of weather as we move into our winter season. I certainly have enjoyed the recent rain after such a dry autumn.

​Terry
