Message from our President
Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all safe and well.
It was with great regret that we closed down our activities due to the Covid-19 virus; we had welcomed a large number of new members into our fold and our classes and social events, both established and new, were all going so well.
Our U3A Broadbeach is known as the voluntary organisation where members can have fun, make new friends, learn new skills and be challenged academically. So it is very important at this time of physical isolation that we keep in touch with those friends we have made and check up on those who may need to hear a familiar voice.
Some of our members have been very active behind the scenes. The April Newsletter provides an overview of what has been happening and possibilities for online activities and interaction. Click here to read April News Letter.
Keep in touch and keep moving.
Lyn Gibson (President U3A Broadbeach)

SUSPENSION OF U3A CLASSES

This will take effect at midnight Monday 16th March, 2020. The Annual General Meeting will also be postponed to a later date. We will periodically review the situation and inform you as soon as it is safe to resume classes. Best regards Lyn Gibson (President) Click here for a more detailed message |
