We have been so fortunate at U3A for many years to have a tutor who has been as eminently qualified as our local Judge David Ashton- Lewis. He has given his time freely and willingly taking his class, Topical Issues, for many years, building up a loyal following of members who are in awe of his general knowledge, status in the law community and general work ethic. He has helped us all to understand not only the finer points of the law but also the news we read every day and how to interpret it.

Sadly, 2026 will be his LAST year with U3A as OUR JUDGE will be moving on.

Members and visitors who enjoy candid, honest, quality discussion, we invite you to join his class.

TIME : 2 pm -3:30 pm THURSDAYS
WHERE: 4 BOYD ST.TUGUN
CLASS: TOPICAL ISSUES

Please contact our office to enrol. PHONE: 0755251662. Members can enrol online and pay $15 for this course or visitors can pay $5 per session. Registrations are a must and you can use your credit card online, via phone or in person at the office in BOYD ST prior to the day. Office open Monday to Friday - 0900am to 12 midday.

“Bert Kienzle did more than any other single man to make Australian victory possible.” — Peter FitzSimons
