We are now entering the final term of this year, with plenty of interesting activities, lectures and courses still to come.  There is also the Christmas lunch on the 10th December to look forward to as well.  It will be held again at Willunga Hotel.  We have decided to make the first course, either pork or turkey roast, a light lunch, which means there will be less meat and potatoes.  However, the dessert will be full sized.

There will be a vegetarian/vegan option available.  The main course will also include shared platters of Mediterranean salad and bread rolls.  As we will be having a light first course the price will be less than last year.  The AGM will take place at 12.00 followed by the Christmas Lunch at 12.30.  Looking forward to seeing people there.

It is with great sadness that we let you know that Liz Elder has passed away.  Liz belonged to the Philosophy group, and contributed greatly to this group.  During her recent illness she was determined to participate in, and enjoy life, fully.  Margaret Stevens, who reached the grand age of 102 years, also passed away recently.  Margaret helped establish the U3A Aldinga group in 1996, and was on the committee.  She also led one of the first groups ‘English Literature”.

I would like to remind people about the website https.//u3aaldinga.org.au which contains information on the current courses, as well as a very interesting article on the formation of UЗA Aldinga, written by the late John North

Have a great term
