U3A branches network in Redland - Bayside Bulletin

Nov. 25, 2012, 6 a.m.





EIGHT Universities of the Third Age (U3A) were represented at a U3A Network Queensland regional meeting in Cleveland in October.



The U3A members travelled to Redland Performing Arts Centre, Cleveland, from across Queensland and northern New South Wales for the meeting, which was sponsored by Redland City Council and hosted by U3A Redlands.


Meeting delegates included those from Townsville, the Granite Belt, Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast, Pine Rivers, Twin Towns, Tamborine Mountain and Redlands U3As; and the meeting provided an opportunity for groups to exchange views and ideas on, and experiences of, U3A issues.


Throughout the day, the meeting heard a welcome from U3A Redlands president Julie Porteous and brief presentations from each U3A group, while U3A Network Queensland president Rhonda Weston gave an overview of the network's achievements, future objectives, and more.


Redland City Mayor Karen Williams and Member for Cleveland Mark Robinson also addressed the meeting.
