FEBRUARY 2026
We extend our best wishes for the New Year and are pleased to report a strong start to 2026 with a successful registration day on 16th January thanks to strong volunteer support in setting up and running the event. It was pleasing to see a strong turnout for membership renewals and class registrations, and we were pleased to welcome a significant number of new members. Our convenors contributed to the morning providing engaging class displays enticing members to join the various group activities. Membership renewals and class registrations remain steady, and most group activities still have places available.
We have some new and exciting classes starting this year, Monday morning has Memoir Writing with Dawn 9.30am to 11.30am, Monday afternoons there is Tai Chi with Danielle from 2-3pm and we also have the introduction of a Lifestyle programme 4.30pm to 6pm designed to keep us informed about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.
Thursday computer class runs every week and now accommodates all experience levels, offering classes from beginners to advanced, thanks to Steve’s initiative. Additionally, the new ‘Crafty Fingers’ group meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month, providing a relaxed environment for craft enthusiasts.
Two further activities have been added on the third and fourth Thursdays: Jazzminton with Deirdre, a light-hearted racquet sport, and Pickleball with Cheryl, a game combining elements of tennis and table tennis. Both have generated significant interest.
With these additions U3A now offer 26 group activities throughout the year, these are Carpet Bowls, Cinema, Computer, Craft & Chat, Creative Writing, Darts, Embroidery, Exercise Programs, Games, Gardening, History of Kilmore, Jazzminton, Lifestyle, Memoir Writing, Pickleball, Recorder, Stitch & Chat, Thai Chi, Thursday Crafty Fingers, Trivia, Tuesday Lunch Group, Ukulele Singalong, Upholstery, Walking Group, and Yoga.
For those of us who grew up basking ourselves in the hot sun to get the ultimate tan…a little reminder …
Due to the unusually hot weather we are currently experiencing, remember to stay hydrated, wear a hat and sunscreen, seek shade during peak sun hours, and avoid direct sunlight whenever possible.
U3A welcomes individuals over 50 who are no longer working full-time, providing an affordable and enjoyable way to learn new skills and connect with others.
