Seniors Week was celebrated in style by our Singing for Fun Group with an enjoyable concert that saw lots of smiles in the audience. The Group will be holding their annual Christmas Meet & Mingle concert in the Cooinda Hub on Wednesday 18/11. Please try to car pool and give yourselves time to be in the venue for a 10am start.
Friday 9/10 saw a number of us staffing an Information Table outside the newsagents hoping to recruit some new members. As the Politics tutor I was amused by the number of people who said the last thing they would do was join a Politics discussion but then held forth on the topic!
The Program Committee met to review new courses and set a timetable for 2016 classes. We still have some work ahead finalising details and the November newsletter will contain course outlines, timetables, enrolment forms and dates/venues for Enrolment days. New classes will include:- Collectors, Bird Watching, Play Reading and a couple of others are in the offering for Semester 2. In addition Railways and Brain Games are returning from hibernation for new sessions along with most of the existing classes.
I want to congratulate Graham Mitchell and his Investment Group who have decided to retire after a run of over 20 years! When I last checked the Age Finance competition, the group were in 3rd place and well positioned to give the leaders a fright in the few months remaining.
Please remember to book a place for the Christmas Luncheon to be held in Mansfield on 25th November. Find the form in the Newsletter.
Finally I want to thank John Avery for his long stint as our Network Representative at the Melbourne meetings. John has played a significant role as our representative and we hope we can find someone to replace him; any offers?
Terry Case,
President
