OCTOBER 2025
During October, the Victorian Seniors Festival is on across the state and there are thousands of free and low cost events on for older Australians to enjoy.
As part of the Seniors Festival celebrations in Mitchell Shire, the U3A ukulele group have joined forces with the Broadford ukulele group and the Broadford singers to perform at four venues across the Shire. As part of Morning Melodies, they will be holding the last two singalongs at:
Wallan, on Thursday 16 October
Beveridge on Thursday 30 October.
Details are on the Mitchell Shire website so why not check it out and come along?
The combined Kilmore U3A and Wallan U3A Morning tea held at the JJ Clancy community hub during Seniors week last year was such a success that we decided to repeat it. On Friday 3rd October we got together for a trivia competition and a ukulele singalong followed by an excellent morning tea. It was well attended, a lot of fun and the trivia contest was very competitive. I think this will be an annual event going forward.
The Recorder and Ukulele groups are staging a Concert at the JJ Clancy Centre on Friday November 7th. It will be starting at 1pm with an expected finish around 3pm with light refreshments available in the intermission. These Concerts give group members experience in playing to an audience and fulfil an aim for the many hours of practice over the year.
Note the date on your calendar and join us for this musical afternoon.
The Gardening and Lunch groups continue to be very active, with regular outings throughout the shire. The convenors of these groups put in a lot of effort ensuring a wide variety of experiences for the members and both are a great opportunity for getting together and sharing common interests. The garden group also share knowledge, plants and seeds
U3A is open to people over 50 who are no longer working full time and is a fun and cost effective way to learn new skills, to meet like-minded people and to socialise.
