Outgoing President’s Message

by Julian Higgs At the AGM on October 19

th I passed the baton of

President to Bill Woods and that of Treasurer to Barb Woods. At the same time Don Macdonald passed the baton of Secretary to Bev Gilbert and we have some new committee members in Nicole Rose and Del Brown as well. These are significant changes but I have no doubt that the new incumbents will do a great job.

These changes occur at a significant time in our history. We formally took over the Court House in the same week and signed the agreement providing our recurrent funding of $3,000 per year from the Yarra Ranges Council just days before that. These are big steps forward for our U3A and, whilst not planned this way, handing over to a new team now that both of those processes have been completed feels like an appropriate time for Don and me to bow out.

Setting up and operating out of the Court House will be a challenging exercise but, I trust, also an exciting one. It certainly gives the new committee something to get their teeth stuck into and to make their mark. I look forward to seeing how it unfolds.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as President and Treasurer but won’t complain about having a bit more time to myself for a while, but I’ll still be going bike riding with Keith Wade, doing Garden Lovers with Heather, exploring the history of the Roman Empire with Martin Dix, walking the tracks with Wendy Veitch and enjoying a glass of wine and a morsel of cheese with Paul Schilling and the Wine & Cheese Appreciation Group. What a wonderful lot of classes and activities we have, a wonderful group of leaders and a wonderful bunch of smiling, enthusiastic members. That’s what U3A is all about, and at Healesville I believe we have as good a U3A as any.

Incoming President’s Message

by Bill Woods Hi, my name is Bill Woods and I am your newly elected U3A Healesville President.

I have been in U3A since Barbara (your new Treasurer) and I moved to Healesville in June 2006. We had just finished building our dream home here with a view to retiring. I was still working for CSL (or the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, as it was when I started as a Junior Biochemist in 1971). Outside of work, I enjoyed (and still do) a game of golf, watching our children and grandchildren grow and prosper, woodworking, gardening and finally many years ago, fell into performing on stage in musical theatre productions.

We only became active members of U3A Healesville this year, as we were both working full- or part-time up until then. This year with U3A Healesville has in many ways transformed our lives. We have met so many of you through the activities we have been involved with: Exercise to Music, Bushwalking, Theatre Group, etc. What a great time we have had so far. The activities themselves have been wonderful however I think that the social interaction has far exceeded anything we could have imagined possible.

I hope that I can continue the great work that Julian has done in setting up our U3A for the future ahead. I want to work with you all in ensuring that U3A Healesville and our new home in the Old Court House building will prosper going forward.

SUMMARY OF NEW CLASSES FOR 2018 BANJO FOR BEGINNERS

Banjo lessons will cover basic chord learning for beginners in C and G tuning. We will learn appropriate songs and practise different styles of banjo playing with an emphasis on “claw-hammer” and “bluegrass” techniques. I intend to offer this class on Wednesday mornings on a weekly basis from 1.00 to 2.00 and if there is a need I will also include 4 string tenor banjo as well as the traditional 5 string banjo.

Leader: Doug Fudge – 5962 6274

BEER ALLIANCE NIGHT

The Beer Alliance is a place where we meet to share and appreciate all types of beers – they can be new, unusual, familiar or exotic.

Bring along an old favourite, or something to surprise us, and we will all taste, discuss and evaluate the brews of the evening.

The usual beer snacks will always be provided but we very much hope that members will also wish to contribute some different, unusual and creative ones from time to time.

It’s five o’clock somewhere!

Leader: Stephen Smith – 5964 7669

CARD MAKING

This class is suitable for beginners in the art of card making. We will start with the basics and progress to a level of card making that will enable you to make your own cards at home.

Participants will need to bring the following supplies to class: Ruler (preferably steel) with both inches and centimetres, Craft Scissors, Soft Pencil and Eraser, Double-sided Tape and a Cutting Mat.

Cutting mats are desirable because they facilitate card making with measurements and provide a stable working place, however, if you don’t have one we’ll work around it as best we can. Double-sided tape can be found at many $2.00 Shops / K-Mart / Craft Shops.

At the initial class, cardboard and paper will be available to buy (enabling us all to make the same card!). We will be sharing cutting equipment, tools, etc. so if you already have your own cutter, tools, etc., please bring them along for you to use in the class; this will make it easier for sharing the limited equipment.

Leader: Maggie Tok – 0407 530 024

EQUIP4LIFE

This is a FREE government funded health program. The program consists of 5 classes, once a fortnight, for 1.5 hours each class and the program will be tutored by experienced Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Accredited Practising Dietitians.

TERM 1 ONLY: February 9 & 16; March 2, 16 & 23; July 27.

Contact: Heather Higgs – 0418 315 879

FRIDAY MEDITATION

A small group of like-minded people gather together for an hour with a view to stilling the mind through guided meditation. The aim is to generate peace, health, happiness and mindfulness - suitable for beginners or people who have meditated before.

Chairs are available, or bring your own cushions and mats if you prefer to sit on the floor.

Limited to 12.

Leader: Marion Wasley – 5962 3570

GENTLE WEIGHTS EXERCISE

Gentle Weights Exercise is to help your muscular strength and bones which counteracts the frailty that comes with ageing ― and to have fun.

Leader: Gwendoline Shields – 5962 6926

PHILOSOPHY

This course will be an introduction to Philosophy. We will examine how some of the great thinkers in our Western society have, through the ages, sought answers to some of mankind’s fundamental questions. We will consider their ideas, the historical context in which they lived and the relevance of their ideas in the modern world. Starting with the Greeks in the fifth century B.C. and moving forward from ancient times, we will journey through the thinkers of the ancient world, the middle ages, the renaissance, through revolution and enlightenment towards more modern times.

Leader: Peter Petherbridge – 0412 438 888

SPANISH CONVERSATION AT LUNCHTIME

This is not intended as a “learn to speak Spanish” class. It is intended to be an informal Spanish Conversation class. Gracie was born and university educated in Argentina, but has lived in Australia for 20 years. Thus, her Spanish tends to have a South American flavour.

Leader: Gracie Valcart – 0424 045 596

WINE & CHEESE NIGHT

The Wine & Cheese Club was started half-way through last year and has proven to be lots of fun. We enjoy social evenings where we gather in the private homes of the group’s members and sample small amounts of wine and cheese.

Although there is an opportunity for members to talk on their choice of wine and cheese, we don't want the meetings to turn into a Country Cooking Competition and so there is absolutely no pressure to do this. You are welcome to simply arrive with your offerings and listen to what is being said. If you don’t eat cheese, but enjoy wine, feel free to bring a dip instead of the cheese.

It is asked that if you wish to attend one of these evenings you contact the nominated host so that numbers attending can be controlled relative to the size of the particular venue.

U3A provides drinking glasses – and the host provides biscuits to complement the cheese.

Leader Paul Schilling – Phone 5962 1822

ART AND CRAFT GROUP

The Arts and Craft Group share an interest and passion in many forms of artistic visual expression. Members currently practise water colour, acrylic and oil painting, pastel and pencil drawing and even quilt making. The range of skills varies, from beginner to semi-professional. Nobody is excluded and everybody is welcome to join and share their skills and ideas.

It’s amazing to see the results achievable with a bit of assistance and encouragement. We also encourage our class to try new and unfamiliar mediums. Who knows what hidden talent you may discover? The most important part is to have fun and enjoy yourself for a few hours a week in a friendly, social environment.

The group is seeking to accommodate more members and all are welcome.

Leader: Bernie Schnull – 0490 496 510

BIKE RIDING GROUP

The aim of this group is to bring people together to enjoy cycling and also to improve fitness as a part of a healthy lifestyle. The group needs a minimum of three people to make it worthwhile. The group will concentrate on the 1

st, 2

days and wintry weather in the middle of the year are not conducive to pleasant cycling.

Leader: Keith Wade – 5962 1882.

BOOK CLUB

This friendly group has been meeting in Yarra Glen since receiving funding from the Yarra Ranges Council. However, this funding has now run out, so each member will need to pay $35.00 per annum to cover the cost of the Library’s fee for supplying the ten books each month. Another change is the venue: we are moving to Healesville. Despite these changes, the great feeling within the group will not change and we will continue to read a wide variety of books which always leads to interesting and lively discussions. To top it all off, we finish with a cuppa!

Leader: Joan Barlow – 5962 5083

ROMAN HISTORY

By next year we will have reached times when the future of the perpetual city appears particularly bleak. Long gone will be the heady days of the Roman Imperial period when Rome consolidated its borders, ruled the known world and created the infrastructure of the self-perpetuating state. The future of the Pax Romana looks rocky – to say the least. We will do as much as we can but, as always, your input will be important.

Leader: Martin Dix – 0412 002 234

SCRABBLE Exercise those brain cells! This is an enthusiastic group of players and new members are most welcome.

Contact: June Slater – 5962 2005

SCRABBLE IN THE LIBRARY

This will be more serious from the point of view that we will be concentrating on improving our scrabble. If you want to be more competitive against family members, friends or internet players etc. this is for you. There is a place for every level of player so don’t feel intimidated. None of us are experts yet.

We will have a period of learning and a period of FUN GAMES each week.

We will strive to follow the rules of the Victorian Scrabble Players Association so that we are all on the same wave length and could, if we wished, play in the tournaments that are held regularly.

Contact: Mal Eden – 5962 2278
