The President's Pen


Welcome to 2012 and University of the Third Age Kingborough

By the time this newsletter is in the community the " Happy New Year" will be a greeting of the past. But this welcome greeting goes to new and renewing U3A Kingborough members. The committee hopes you will enjoy the courses and take the opportunity to gather and make new friends or rekindle old acquaintances.

During the summer break many committee members have been working hard to prepare for Enrolment Day February 21st, 10:00 to 2:00 pm and the inauguration of our File Maker Pro database. In this newsletter, on a separate page, you maybe interested in reading the details of this recent computerized acquisition.

Not only is this newsletter the first for 2012 but it also is the last one for me as your president. So this means the Annual General Meeting on March 27th is time for you to consider a committee nomination. Some of the committee members listed at the top of this page, have completed more than 3 years and are looking forward to “retirement” or a rest. In order to continue this valued U3A; new ideas and committee members are urgently needed. All positions of the committee will be open. And it is time to pass the torch and share the load with other capable members. If you are approached or wish to join the committee, a nomination form is enclosed.

Just a glance back to 2011, at our year end Mediterranean lunch held at Westwinds, catered by Albe and enjoyed by all was another huge success. Ninety six people had fun with a name the capital to country quiz and the raffle winner for a 2012 membership was Pat Fripp.

In closing, my thanks to all who have helped keep this U3A vibrant and progressive, and to Marian Hearn and Neil Hore who provided the summer program. I hope to see you either at Woodbridge, Kingston, at the upcoming sausage sizzle or on the walking trails.

Sincerely Jane Mays

"Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one's ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them."

Come and enjoy this highly acclaimed film. There will be time for discussion of the setting and story.For the second five weeks we are privileged to have Heinz Vojacek who has visited many European cities.

He is a member of Hobart U3A and is a well known lecturer in the southern U3As and School for Seniors.

 
Monday 11:30KA1
Have Your SayJennie Clarke
This lively group has been successful for many years. The members, seated in a circle, discuss a wide range of subjects that surround our every-day lives. Sometimes controversial, the rules are fixed, with each member aware that arguing will not be tolerated. Confidentiality within the group assures the members that their opinion stays in the room, this allowing them to speak freely on the issues involved.Jennie co-ordinates this group and has been doing so for a year (or is it two?), following Joy Tunney's retirement. She aims to make sure that everyone sticks to the rules and has their say. A fun and positive group.

 
Monday 11:30KA3
Youth3A Book ClubSelf Managed
Over the term, opportunity will be provided for members to introduce their own selected book(s) on travel themes. On the first and second week the members will briefly (about 10 minutes each) describe and discuss their reading during the summer. On the 23rd and 30th April the group will discuss the books of George Eliot. In preparation for this, members are encouraged to read one or more of her novels, poetry, or other works - e.g. novels Adam Bede, Middlemarch, Mill on the Floss, Daniel Deronda, and Silas Marner. We will read excerpts, and provide insight into the author, characters, use of language, and settings as a basis for instigating discussion of issues raised by the books. Happy reading!

 
Monday 11:305 Grevillea Way
Small Engines - Know How & MaintenanceRoger Hall
We all have 4 cycle motor mowers (and maybe 2 cycle brush-cutters or chainsaws) and occasionally pay to have them serviced. A detailed set of notes will be provided. The course will include the opportunity for practical hands on maintenance training (at Roger’s home workshop) with students’ own machines. Roger is an ex TAFE lecturer and examiner and ran his own business. His wide experience makes him an excellent teacher.

 
Monday 1:00 - 2:30KA4
Basic Computing - Microsoft WORDVal Taberlay
Class size 5 Bring your laptop - this course is a basic introduction for Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010. Val spent several years as a volunteer at the Kingston Online Access Centre. Her courses with this new fangled technology proved popular last year.

Historic Sights / SitesDavid Leaman
Scenery and history can combine to yield a rich yarn. Meet past and present in China, Britain, USA, and Switzerland. There are some interesting stories and enticing views.

He has written several books.

 
Monday 1:30 - 3:30KA2
Creative WritingJennie Clarke
This course will give the members the opportunity to creatively tap their brains and put it all into the written word. It will concentrate on the method and style of writing, with continuous class evaluation. It is also expected that heavy criticism will be aimed at Jennie Clarke's work thus making the class a joint effort, while helping all members to take a closer look at their own style.Jennie prefers to work with a positive and easy-going style and welcomes newcomers and inexperienced members, who just have a yearning to write. She began writing only seven years ago, has written two books and will use the skills of the experts to maximise her tuition.

 
Monday 1:30 - 2:30KA1
Mae’r Gymraeg yn Hawdd – Welsh is Easy! - BeginnersPeter Ball
Welsh is the most thriving of the Celtic languages and these sessions introduce the spoken language of today, with light relief from music, video, etc about Welsh culture. For rapid progress, sense of achievement and motivation, we shall take advantage of a prizewinning free internet course, “Say Something in Welsh” (www.saysomethinginwelsh.com), CDs or cassettes of which are available for those unable to access the internet themselves. We shall use the SSIW lessons in class and as homework, with extra explanation and practice. Free resources from BBC Wales, S4C (the Welsh TV Channel) and elsewhere will also sometimes be used. SSIW has learners speaking Welsh from the very start, and keeps them talking as their mastery grows. For later in the year, there is another beginners course, from the BBC, which we can use to expand our understanding of grammar and the written language. If you have any questions about the Welsh for beginners program, feel free to contact Peter (6239 1265) before enrolling.Peter, from Bristol, studied in Hull and Belfast before lecturing in Uganda, and then specialised in social psychology, psycholinguistics and related fields at the University of Tasmania. He enjoys choral singing, art and everything about language.

 
Monday 2:30 - 4:30KA1
Mwy o Gymraeg – Welsh ContinuationMargaret and Guy Nicholson
This course is aimed at those who have completed a beginners’ course and want to improve their command of spoken Welsh. There will be an opportunity each week for class members to speak about their activities in Welsh and to engage in conversation. A range of resources from North and South Wales will be provided and some time will be devoted to the text Teach Yourself Welsh. Articles from the adult learners’ magazine, Lingo Newydd will be used regularly for reading and discussion. There will also be some focus on listening to and singing Welsh songs.Margaret comes from Anglesey in North Wales and Welsh was her first language when she immigrated to Tasmania in her mid-teens. She has kept her Welsh alive through communicating with Welsh speaking family members and friends in Australia and in Wales. Marg’s strength is colloquial Welsh and she is keen to help students with pronunciation and support them in developing confidence in speaking the language.Guy has been learning Welsh from Marg and her family for many years but has studied the language more intensively over the last three. His background has been in history teaching but like Marg he has an interest in languages and experience in using a range of resources to learn on his own. Guy is particularly interested in modern spoken usage.

Ramblers/StrollersCoral Wilson/tba

Thursday 10:00KA1
Australian WritersNoela Foxcroft
Last year we began to look at the lives of some of the well known Australian authors of the times beginning with Katharine Susannah Prichard and Miles Franklin. Noela sought the class views on who else should be included and other authors ranked were Ruth Park, Eleanor Dark, May Gibbs, Daphne Cusack, Ian Idres, Banjo Patterson, Darcy Nyland and Henry Lawson - where to stop!? Well, of course we ran out of time, so in this Term we will look at the lives and works of additional important Australia writers. New class members are most welcome. Noela has tutored in U3A for many years in a variety of subjects. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and experience will rub off on all of us doing this course.

 
Thursday 10:00KA3
Listening to Music John Culliton
WIKIPEDIA says “Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.” Then there are those who classify music – Antiquity, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism, Traditional, World, Folk …. etc. In our music sessions we meander through them all. Sometimes we chat about it, mostly we just listen. If that’s how you like it come and join us.

 
Thursday 11:30KA1
Word StoriesGlenn Pullen
Word stories : This course will be a relaxed ramble through a random range of English word origins and meanings. All just for fun! Glenn is a retired English teacher and librarian and had given us many interesting courses on aspects of the English language. He delights in the class interaction that results from this type of course.

 
Thursday 11:30KA3
Shape of the Earth - Part 2Albert Goede
Have you ever wondered why the surface of the earth is so varied? Why mountain ranges and volcanoes occur where they do? How water, wind, ice, and waves help to shape the surface of our planet? Understanding the scenery we see around us will lead to a much greater appreciation of our natural landscape. This course follows part 1 given last term. New participants are welcome. Albert lectured in various aspects of physical geography at the School of Geography and Environmental Studies from 1965 to 1998. After retirement he became interested in the Royal Society of Tasmania. His hobbies are bushwalking, photography, gardening, rock art and wildflowers.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FILEMAKER PRO
AND WERE AFRAID TO ASK


In December 2011 U3A KINGBOROUGH was advised that we were successful in our application for a grant from the TASMANIAN COMMUNITY FUND. We had applied for an amount of just under $3000 to cover the purchase and setup of a computer program called FILEMAKER PRO. We now have the program and a dedicated computer to run the special software. Why did the management committee take this step? What is FILEMAKER PRO? To bring all our members into the picture we are including an edited version of that application.

THE PROJECT
To purchase and install a relational database and file serving computer.

WHO WE ARE
U3AK Inc is a self-help co-operative of enthusiastic volunteers whose objective is to organise and maintain, on a non-profit basis, a program of Third Age learning for retired and semi-retired people in the local community. Members pay a modest annual subscription to cover the cost of rent, printing and postage of newsletters and course information, and basic office and classroom equipment. We receive no outside financial assistance apart from the occasional grant. We welcome as members people living in the Kingborough and surrounding communities. There are no conditions or educational qualifications required. We run courses at the LINC CENTRE in Kingston and at the WESTWINDS COMMUNITY CENTRE in Woodbridge. The strength of community support is well demonstrated by our continuing high membership.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
Since its inception in 2000, U3A Kingborough has experienced a rapid increase in numbers. We now have a membership of around 300 and this unanticipated rate of growth has stretched the efforts of hardworking volunteers who perform all the programming and management functions – there are no paid staff.

The most challenging task faced by our programmers is to find suitable tutors and course leaders who are prepared to commit to a ten week term, then to prepare and publish the syllabus for each term. The committee’s routine management jobs include enrolling members, compiling and keeping membership records, preparing class lists, tutors’ lists and timetables, writing and distributing regular newsletters, keeping of accounts and secretarial duties, operating and maintaining classroom equipment, as well as day to day “housekeeping” duties. We also run a program of social activities through the year, and maintain a members’ book exchange.

In an effort to ease the burden on our precious volunteers, the management committee has investigated the setting up of a RELATIONAL DATABASE, a computer program to assist in routine repetitive tasks such as membership records, enrolment details, course lists, subscription payments, etc. During 2011 we have been trialling a relational database developed by one of our members whose contribution is estimated at 50 hours so far (at $50/hour that’s equivalent to $3000).

We now have the computer and software and are preparing for a trial run at the February enrolment day.
