U3A Kingborough has been a busy organization in Term one.
In the
afternoon of April 14th over 60 people enjoyed a successful quiz challenge at Kingston Gardens with
U3A Clarence taking first place and one of our U3A Kingborough teams awarded the wooden spoon. Next
time we must have more historical Kingborough questions! A big thank you to Richard and Julie
Gardam, the quiz masters of ceremony; Julian Goldsmith, question creator and committee members for
making the event happen.
A perfect day for a BBQ at Dru Point was enjoyed by a gathering of
members and friends on April 16th. The food and beverage was plentiful and both sausages and
conversation sizzled.
At the AGM new committee members Robert Parsons and Laurie Francis
were elected along with acclaimed returning members. But STOP the press, we need a newsletter
editor. (see Help Wanted). A big thank-you to Louise Stewart who has graciously stepped forward to
do this newsletter. I also mentioned U3A Kingborough will look into strategic planning to take our
not-for-profit organization into the next 3-5 years. I welcome any comments or suggestion you may
have for our forward planning.
Our total enrolment is growing and this is reflected in 43
new members to date. Members are coming from as far as Bruny Island, Gardners Island, Glen Huon,
Lenah Valley and Howrah. I suspect our articles in the Kingston & Cygnet Classified and
Kingborough Chronicle helped. We all join U3A for the varied and interesting courses which are well
organized by the programming people and presented by volunteer tutors. Well done ladies and
gentlemen.
U3A Kingborough applied and has received a grant titled "Telstra Connected
Seniors". Details of the mobile phone and internet training are contained in this newsletter.
Last but not least this is our 10th Anniversary year. "A Record of the First
Decade" by Dr Sheila Given will be launched at the mid-year lunch. Watch for more details
coming soon.

participants own their own views and respect those of others. After four wonderful years of Joy
Tunney at the helm, the class will now be co-ordinated by Jennie Clarke, an experienced

excerpts, and provide insight into the authors, characters and settings as a basis for instigating
discussion of issues raised by the books. Could you please read one of the novels “The
Butterfly Man”, “River Wife”, or “White Heart” by local author
Heather Roseas in the fifth week we intend to discuss them as a group. Happy reading! | |

| All About Bridges | David Leaman |
| The story of that critical piece of
infrastructure we know as a bridge – from antiquity to the present day. This is a tale of
genius, innovation and embarrassment which is often high art combined with economy and utility. Do
not miss this. David is well known and a popular tutor at U3A. He is an eminent geologist, geophysicist and ground water specialist. His many other interests include railways, history and music. He has written several books. | |
| Monday 1:30 - 3:30 | KA3 |
| Mae’r Gymraeg yn Hawdd – Welsh is Easy! | Peter Ball |
| Ten sessions of Welsh language for beginners, emphasising the spoken language, as it is used in Wales today. The sessions are scheduled for two hours, which will include about 30 minutes of light relief with music, video, etc. on Welsh culture. This is to help us progress quickly enough to get a sense of achievement, and still keep our motivation up. New members are welcome who have had introductory Welsh lessons. The general approach will be based on the very successful “Wlpan” beginners' course regularly run in Wales, which was derived from a system developed in Israel for teaching Hebrew to immigrants. It involves plenty of activity, a lot of talking, and very little writing – a great deal of fun, in other words. Free material from BBC Wales and S4C (Channel 4 Wales) will also be accessible. Peter from Bristol, studied in Hull and Belfast, before lecturing in Uganda. In Tasmania he taught and researched at our Uni in social psychology, psycholinguistics and related fields. His recreational interests include choral singing, art and studying languages. |

| Monday 1:30 -3:30 | KA2 |
| Writers Group | Marian Hearn |
| Class limit 15 . | |
It is perhaps a measure of the success of the Writing Group that, since starting 8 years ago, 6 writers have independently published books and 2 years ago the Group as a whole combined to produce a collection of their work. However, this is a group where there is no pressure to actively participate at all. Members are welcome to sit and listen until they feel confident to take part. The class usually starts with an exercise to get the writing started then the results are shared – sometimes thought provoking and often hilarious! After a break for a cuppa there is a chance for those who wish to share a little of their current personal writing – true stories, fiction, and the occasional prose or verse. By joining this course you will be encouraged to develop your own writing skills and will gain knowledge and inspiration from the work of others. Old and new writers very welcome. | |

Walking poles/ sticks are often useful. Participants will get information showing the routes, detailing start and end points and contact numbers. Carpooling is encouraged. As some of the group may like a little more vigorous activity we can arrange ourselves into two groups; the “Ramblers” who walk a little further and the “Strollers” who are more leisurely. On 22nd June, the first outing will start with a meeting in the U3A Kitchen at 10:00am to discuss and decide the walks for the term and complete indemnity forms.

lose the family jewels in the wash? These matters & others are up for discussion and comment.
