NOVEMBER 2023
As the end of the year approaches, many of the U3A groups are planning their end of year breakup. The Kilmore History Group Christmas Party will be held at The Hunter’s Tryst on Monday 4th December. They are opening especially for the group and as an added bonus, Heritage Victoria are going to open up the Kelly House. The luncheon group Christmas breakup lunch will be at at Hogans Hotel in Wallan on Tuesday 12th December and the Recorder ensemble will be finishing the year with their concert to be held at the John Taylor room on Sunday November 26th.
It has been a long wait but the JJ Clancy Pavilion has finally received a Certificate of Occupancy. The next meeting of the convenors will be held at the new venue on December 1st so we can have a look at the facilities and start to plan classes for next year. There is still some work to be done on the grounds and carpark but we are looking forward to relocating. Some of our redundant equipment has been sold at garage sales held during the past month and the rest will be moved in the coming month.
We have had a number of enquiries from people who are interested in attending craft mornings, computer classes, floristry and cooking demonstrations next year so we are looking for volunteers who are interested in running these classes. If you feel you have the skills to facilitate these subjects, please contact us at info@u3akilmoreanddistrict.com.au We would love to see these classes running in our new venue for 2024.
We have a couple of new classes confirmed for 2024:
Photography using your phone: Our new convenor has vast experience and is happy to show you what to do and how exciting it can be to take great photos from your phone. If you are interested, email info@u3akilmoreanddistrict.com.au and mark your inquiry “Camera Photography”.
Games Morning: Due to declining numbers, we are substituting Sudoku with a Games morning. We can then utilize the cards, mah-jong, cribbage, chess and other board games that U3A already have.
Registration day for 2024 will be held at the new pavilion at the JJ Clancy Reserve, Kelly’s Lane, Kilmore on 19th January from10am to 12 midday. U3A is open to people over 50 who are no longer working full time so if you want to get involved, come along on the day and sign up for some classes. New members are always welcome.
Cheers, Amanda Oades
