This week we spent our gathering attaching hundreds of poppies to 15 metres of black tulle to help the RSL prepare for Remembrance Day.

12 pairs of hands made the few hours pass quickly.

LIFE MEMBER - MAC

On Thursday we had our ‘Spring Fling’ with a beautiful afternoon tea to acknowledge the Tutors and volunteers who keep programmes running for the over 500 members who belong to U3A.

It was also a special time to give life membership to Mac.

Mac has dedicated many years to our U3A as a member, a tutor and the editor of our magazine, The Quarterly.

Over twelve years and 48 editions he took it from a simple, single sheet newspaper to a magazine filled with the stories, poems, artwork and photographs by hundreds of members.

He has well and truly earned this award of Honorary Life Member of Emerald U3A.

A wonderful recognition for a man who gave so much.

EXPLORING VICTORIA

What would you like to know about the first Thursday of the month, in the last four months and this month, October?

It has rained.

And today was the 1st October.

Our trip today was to Churchill Island, and we left with the forecast of rain.

Nevertheless, it was a great place to visit, with a great morning tea in the cafe overlooking the sea.

The old buildings are beautifully maintained and worth the trip, the gardens gorgeous with wisteria blossoming, and the resident animals very happy.

George the cockatoo will repeat ‘hello George’, the peacock charming, a calf sleeps in the trough and chicken coop a palace for many hens with a noisy rooster. Worth a visit with the grandkids, who would enjoy a horse drawn cart ride.

On a better day a walk of the 4 km track around the island would be a showcase but today was not the day.

Fish and chips at the San Reno Co-op was the lunch stop, and then the rain really joined us for the drive home.

All up, does it matter if it rained, not really? A bit wet, but socially well worth the visit.
