Tutors Needed:

We are always in need of new tutors either to give a one off talk or to take a longer course. If you cannot assist personally perhaps you know of someone we could approach.

Please contact Bruce Brown: u3a@visionaustralia.org

Contributions Wanted

We encourage contributions from members and class leaders for our Newsletter.   Short articles can be handed in to the office or be mailed to u3a@visionaustralia.org. Items of general interest or activities related to experiences at U3A would be most welcome.

Name Badges

Members should wear U3A Identification when in the Vision Australia building.   Your name tags should be endorsed on the reverse side with an emergency contact number in case of accident. 

Housekeeping

Tidiness of classrooms is important and tutors need to ensure that glasses and coffee containers are taken out of the room at the end of the session.   Members who are physically capable of taking glasses and cups to the kitchen near the office need to do so, to be put into the dishwasher. A quick rinse will not be hygienic.  The Cricket Pavilion must also be left tidy.  

Donations of Books and Videos

If you are having a clear out of cupboards at home, we would welcome unwanted CD's, DVD's and suitable books for use by tutors.
