21st Annual Meeting, 12 March 2009

Sydney U3A Inc celebrated its 21^st Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2009 at the Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, Pitt Street, Sydney.

President Lesley Duffill presented her report outlining some of the varied activities of the past year.

Her thanks were extended to the many volunteers for their contributions in ensuring Sydney U3A maintains its energy and viability. They included the course leaders and their helpers, the office workers, those installing the new computer system, the regional committee members and the management committee members.

The 2009 Honorary Memberships were awarded to Lionel Anet (Inner West region), Clarice Bradbury (Upper North) and Beverley Edmonds (Manly and Peninsula) for their outstanding efforts in the development of Sydney U3A.

Membership Subscription Increase

After some discussion the meeting voted overwhelmingly to increase the membership subscription from $35 to $45 from 1 July 2009. In addition the $10 joining fee continues to apply to new members.

Another notice of motion to delegate future increases in fees to the management committee was withdrawn.

What is Sydney U3A?

Sydney U3A organises life long learning for retired and semi-retired people in a friendly yet stimulating environment. Its aim is to provide mental and intellectual stimulation in a group situation to keep the mind young and alert.

Sydney U3A Inc members attend 300 courses in 40 topics held throughout the Sydney metropolitan area and in the city. It is divided into 7 regions and each member of Sydney U3A is able to attend any of the classes throughout the Sydney area.

The range of courses enables our members to broaden their horizons, be involved in new learning experiences and to share their skills and knowledge. No qualifications required and none given.

U3A is an international organization that follows the early concept of University; of people coming together to discuss and learn topics led by a Leader.

Course Leaders are drawn from member ranks who volunteer their time and knowledge. They are retired teachers, academics, business people or those with an expertise or enthusiasm in a particular subject.
