U3A Kilmore & District Inc.
| The University of the Third Age is a self help learning group for semi-retired and retired people. There are no entry requirements for membership (other than being retired), no assessment of learning and no academic awards.
U3A Kilmore & District Inc. was established in June 1999 as an activity of the Kilmore Mechanics Institute and Free Library Inc. We are now a separate incorporated group and have about 170 members. We are a member of U3A Network Victoria and the North-eastern U3A Group. An annual subscription of $25 for a single person and $40 for a couple is payable on the 1st January each year. Click on the link below to access an application for membership. The subscription is usually reduced if you join after July. The group is administered by a committee of management elected each year from the membership, at the Annual General Meeting. This low annual fee is usually sufficient to cover overheads. Hence, as a rule, there is no need for separate enrolment fees for individual classes unless required for materials or use of equipment. Members, having paid their annual subscription, can join as many classes as they wish. Click on the link below to access a renewal form for membership. Courses are held each day of the week at the Kilmore Library, Kilmore Community Centre, Kilmore Memorial Hall, Wallan Community Centre, in members' homes and other locations. The two walking groups meet at various locations. The length of courses vary, groups may be any size, and teaching may be done by an individual or a team. The following courses have been conducted in the past and most occur each year. An afternoon at the movies Armchair Travel Australian History Book reading and discussion Card Games (Canasta/Cribbage) Chair Aerobics Computer Assistance Computer Training Computer Cafe Curio Corner Current Affairs Dog Walking & Socialization Family History Gardening Gentle Stretching and Relaxation Exercises Handworker's Group How to play Lawn Bowls Italian Language Moveable Feasts Music for Pleasure My Connected Community Workshops (mc2) Tai Chi for Arthritis Technology for Dummies Train Excursions Theatre Outings Walking For information about current classes and activities please click on link below. New courses are offered to meet the needs of members and likewise, courses are deleted due to lack of continuing interest or unavailability of the convenor. A newsletter and quarterly timetable is distributed to all members which lists the convener and their phone number plus day, time, dates and location of each course and activity. In addition, craft classes are offered as required and are advertised in the newsletter. In the past a number of conveners have offered basket weaving, crazy patchwork, mosaic, raffia hats, etc. Quarterly morning teas are held at the Kilmore Library where items of interest are advised to members and conveners give a brief description of their course progress. We usually have a guest speaker at morning teas. Regular events in which U3A participate include: - Seniors festival in October each year - Adult Learners Week in September - Seminars and workshops - Regional conferences - State conferences By becoming a member of U3A Kilmore and District Inc., social interaction and lifelong learning will be enriched and enhanced through the educational, social, creative and physical activities we offer. Nobody fails with U3A because there is no assessment of these activities.
