The decision is not taken lightly. The committee has a duty and responsibility to make sure activities and affairs of U3A are conducted in a manner that is safe and in the best interest of our members.
The committee has considered all information and directives before it and has decided that a short delay in meetings is the safest option at present. Whether we like to admit it or not, all members are in the category of "vulnerable" and it would seem obvious that we should not purposely congregate in organised meetings at this time. Recent developments in the pandemic and the surge of Omicron cases in regional areas indicate that this stage of the pandemic may be approaching its peak in the next week or so.
At this stage, it is intended that the Annual General Meeting will be held on 7th March as scheduled. The committee will decide in due course when to hold the Activities Expo.
Please help us by making sure that you spread the word among members with whom you associate.
University is a loose term, and the third age is the age of active retirement, following on from the age of childhood and the age of a working life.
U3A is a worldwide organization which began in France in 1973. The organization began in Australia in 1984. U3A Rockhampton and District Inc. is a self-funded not-for-profit association formed in 1988. Management, tutors and coordinators are all volunteers. You can contact us here to find out how U3A can help you remain active physically and mentally and continue your learning years.
U3A brings together people who have retired from full-time work but not from living an active and fulfilling lifestyle. We provide courses and activities covering a wide variety of interests including physical exercise, health, lunch groups, discussion groups, music, craft, writing, poetry, history, drama and much more. A complete list of activities can be found here. U3A requires no prior learning or qualifications and there are no exams. We provide learning without stress in an environment of fun and friendship. We encourage our members to keep youthful and enthusiastic.
U3A Rockhampton has a close relationship with CQUniversity whereby both parties engage in a number of ways for their mutual benefit.
If you wish to meet our members personally, you are welcome to attend any of our general meetings as a visitor. There is no entry fee. You can find our meeting dates here. If you want to keep your body and brain active and make new friends, join U3A Rockhampton now.
