U3A Townsville Presidents Report

August 2024

Much appreciation to all U3A members for embracing the move to Ryan Street along with lots of thanks to the many who were able to give their time and energy to help with various aspects of the move. As a result, we are now settled in to our new quarters. The U3A Classroom is working very well, a pleasant sunny room, with just a few minor things to be finalised. I also want to acknowledge the members and Tutors whose class timetables have been interrupted as we suspended classes in order to get the room setup and operational. My thanks go to Christine who has been sending notices about the move as well as changing our I.T. public location and contact information.

Getting to the point we currently, have had many moving parts - and it has been the U3A people power that has made this happen. Congratulations to all.

The committee will need to check our processes to ensure they reflect the new location and the space we now occupy. We encourage our members to provide feedback and comments that will help settle any glitches in the arrangements. The committee will hold the monthly management meetings in the S.C Library or the U3A classroom.

Many of our Members have joined Senior Citizens as members, so please remember to avail your selves of the activities they provide. Check their notice board in the main doorway to keep up with what is happening.

We would like to encourage our members to visit the rooms we are now occupying.  Friday Talks will resume once we are settled and we organise a program.  You will be kept informed as usual through bulk emails, our website and newsletters. We hope the location and space works for you all
