OUR HISTORY
About Hume U3A inc
established 1995

Hume U3A was formed by an initiative of Broadmeadows Council at a Public Meeting on 21st April 1995
We had 30 very enthusiastic people attend the meeting with 16 enrolled on the day.
Basic Art, Local History and Line Dancing were the first courses to be organized.
At the time of the inaugural meeting at Broadmeadows Town hall on 17th August 1995 we had grown to 77 members, with two further courses added.

At the time of our Tenth Anniversary we had over 300 members

With the formation of the City of Hume we became Hume U3A .
Also in the City of Hume Sunbury U3A originaly part of Hume U3A is a very active organisation.

The City was formed in a boundary realignment in 1995. It comprises major parts of the former City of Broadmeadows and Shire of Bulla, which included the township of Sunbury, also taking in small portions of the former cities of Whittlesea and Keilor

In 2007 we formed a partnership with Dallas North Primary School and moved our office into their Community Hub.
We can also base several of our activities in this excellent facility.

2004 also saw us as part of the Hume Global Learning Village another council initiative which draws together all providers of education in the community.
With the opening of the new Library the Global Learning Centre we have been very fortunate to have the co-operation of the management and staff and conduct a number of courses in the wonderful facilities that they provide.

Another organisation that has always supported us, is the Broadmeadows Historical Society, who now have a web site. The society hold many records of the broadmeadows area.
