NEWS

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESKPresident

 Welcome to the New Year. We hope everyone had an enjoyable break and are now ready to participate in the wide selection of classes on offer.
Our Class Co-ordinator will no doubt provide information on the classes in our Newsletter, and information will also be available from the U3A Office during our office hours, 10am to 12.30pm, Monday to Friday.
Over the break, the partition between the two offices has been removed, the carpet dried out and re-laid, and planning and installation of power points and phone lines is in progress.

We welcome our new Vice President, and hope his time on the Committee is enjoyable. He has been extremely busy over the break preparing our computers in readiness for the classes beginning on 29th January.
Do any of our members have the necessary skills to take on the position of Assistant Secretary? This position has been vacant since the last Annual Meeting, and we would like to have someone fill it. Main tasks would be taking the Minutes of Meetings and filing.
Please contact me if you are interested.
I wish you all an enjoyable and fulfilling year of learning.

NOTES FROM YOUR CLASS CO-ORDINATOR

I trust everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and enjoyed time with family and friends.
Despite the office flooding, soaked carpet, wet computers and the expected wait for Council to take down the partition in the Office, it looks as though we shall be ready to start Computer Classes this term. A big thanks to all those who did their bit to make this possible. We shall be working our way through the waiting lists for Computer Beginners and Internet Classes and will then look at running more Advanced Classes. A big thanks also to Ian Tuffs and Allyson Anthonisz who will be taking some of the classes. With 6 computers ready for full-time use we can still use more Class Leaders or assistants, so please contact me if you feel you can help.
