New Liaison Officer visits U3A Dalby

21/07/2022

 Newly appointed Liaison Officer, David Bowden of U3A Roma, recently visited U3A Dalby. David’s visit is the first of a number of planned meetings to take place across Queensland in the near future.

These meetings are designed to keep the lines of communication open between U3As and the Network Committee to share ideas and formulate policy for the future. The newly elected U3A Queensland Network Committee has appointed Committee Members across the state to arrange meetings with other branches.

David stated at the meeting: “So why do we need to meet? Good question! One reason could be that we become rather comfortable in being satisfied with what we do and are not aware that the world is changing around us. Thinking we have always done things a certain way and that’s all I need to know may cause problems at a later time. We may not remember that we are part of the U3A International organisation with ties to other State and the International u3A in Toulouse France, where it all began . U3A is basically a learning and communication organisation. We know that it is most important for local Course Co-ordinators to provide suitable courses for Members to learn. Members must also know that there is need for communication to make sure that information regarding the running of the branch comes from U3A Queensland Network.”

David’s visit was a great success with many subjects discussed including group insurance which assists U3As in obtaining the correct insurance for their association at the right price without the hassle of obtaining quotes.

Participation in remote learning was also discussed with the emphasis on Zoom as an essential tool for people who want to learn but are disadvantaged by the tyranny of distance. This is particularly applicable in rural areas such as Dalby.

Please visit the U3A Network Queensland Facebook page here for more news and photos of U3A happenings.

U3A Rockhampton members enjoy Christmas in July

The regular U3A Monthly lunch at U3A Rockhampton had a ‘Christmas in July’ theme when members got together at the Victoria Tavern’s Secret Garden.
The 66 members who attended enjoyed a delicious 2-course roast meal.
Following lunch members took part in a Trivia Competition with an ‘It’s All About Santa!’ theme, and there were lucky spots, a game of two-up, and some were lucky to win a gift from under the Christmas tree!! 🎄🎅🏻
To view more photos of the Christmas party at U3A Rockhampton please visit their Facebook page here.

U3A Redlands Centre Building Project fundraiser

01/07/2022

Fundraising for the U3A Redlands Centre Building Project was boosted yesterday by a generous donation of $1,000 from Mark Robinson MP for Oodgeroo.

U3A Redlands President Janese Lowe and Vice President Julie Porteous were delighted to accept the donation from Mark Robinson MP on the site of the U3A Redlands Centre at the Redlands Research Facility, Delancey Street, Cleveland.

The new Centre project will take many months to complete and will rely on grants from all levels of government and the generosity of members and our many community supporters.

New Post

This is a new post. Hopefully, I will do this correctly.

Hi Greg
This fine, as far as it goes. You have an image in the text/image area, and that will appear on the post page. You need some type of Featured Image (bottom right) so that a thumnail appears on the Greg’s Training page. I’ve put a placeholder image in there to show the result. I’ve also ticked the ‘Display featured image in post lists only, hide on singular views’ box so that it appears on your page but not heading the post.
The Greg’s Training page doesn’t need to be changed unless you want to put an introductory message there. The page will automatically list posts with the Greg’s Training category allocation.
Wordpress distinguishes between Pages and Posts. Pages are usually static, displaying semi-permanent information and latest posts while Posts are standalone presentations of detailed stories, etc.
Keep going and it will all make sense soon.
Cheers
John
