Two strategic planning sessions have been held (February and July) which have confirmed the vision and mission of the U3A and set a firm foundation on which to build a vibrant future.
We hope that the two workshops in February and July have confirmed the vision and mission of HB Williamstown U3A and set a firm foundation on which to build a vibrant future.
The Committee will do further work on developing specific tasks, measures and evaluation, and present the plan at the AGM in November for confirmation.

Walking group
COVID 19 has restricted our activities this year some groups are finding ways to continue their activities.
The walking group has adapted is activities to fit in with the social distancing guidelines and regulations. The group recent had a walk to Altona on a day when the weather was somewhat challenging .
New Course for 2020
Darby Higgs is offering a new course for the second half of 2020.
How to write a how to book is designed to enable U3A members to share some of their knowledge and skills by writing and publishing a short How to ebook. No specialised skills are required but members will learn some along the way. The course will involve regular Zoom meetings with course material distributed over the web. Participants will collaborate to reach an achievable goal by the end of the year.
Please email Darby for more details. darby.higgs@gmail.com

In the meantime there are a number of classes that are utilising Zoom or other online platforms, plus outdoor activities, such as
the walking group, that are operating under social distancing guidelines.
