The University of the Third Age (U3A) in Lismore is highlighting the fact that they have a wide range of courses and activities available and are holding an open day on Wednesday, January 22 for locals to take a look at what is on offer.
‘Come to our open day where you can meet all our tutors,’ said committee member Margaret Bruce.
‘This year it will be held at the Goonellabah Sports Club on Oliver Avenue from 10am to 1pm.
‘This U3A offers many interesting courses to keep both the brain and body active. From genealogy to Qi gong, book clubs, history, science and singing; with over 30 courses in all.
‘You may have some special talents and would like to lead a course of your choice?’ she said.
‘During the open day U3A singers will entertain everyone with our La Fontanella Recorder Ensemble.
‘Lismore’s U3A is open to returning members, new members, or the public.
‘We would love to see you there,’ said Margaret.
‘There will be facilities for you to enrol on the day. For new members the cost for the year is $65 which includes a badge or $60 for returning members. It will entitle you to join any classes for the whole of 2025. The Lismore and Ballina/Byron U3Aa have reciprocal memberships and can be included in each other’s courses.’
