The year is speeding on and soon we will be starting Term 3. It would appear to me that the older I get the faster the time seems to go.

Most of our courses continue into Term 3 and we look forward to participating in them.  Thank you to all our hardworking course leaders and committee members who provide leadership, time and energy into ensuring interesting courses.

Lectures will not be held in Term 3 when Neville Hudson takes a well earned break.  Films will take the place of lectures, and Mike Dixon has an interesting array of films lined up for the film afternoons in the Aldinga Library.

We are planning a trip to Monarto Safari Park on October 7th which will be an exciting event.  Apparently it is the largest safari park outside of Africa, and it includes a new Visitor Centre which opened in 2022.  Thankfully we have had a good response from U3A members and this will enable us to book a coach and entry to the zoo.  Although it is an expensive trip, we are fortunate to be able to use some of the legacy money from the late Bob Moore to subsidise the cost of the coach.

We again give a warm welcome to our new members, and look forward to meeting you soon,

I wish you all a very successful and happy third term.
