WHAT IS A U3A
The University of the Third Age is a mutual aid self-help movement - a modern community of scholars and artists, catering primarily for people in the Third Age of their lives.

OUR AIMS
The overall aim of Beaudesert U3A Inc. is to provide the members with both the stimulus of mental and physical activity and the satisfaction of a continuing contribution to society. It will enable them to take up new interests and to extend old ones. It will offer the joy of learning for the sake of learning: it will open up new horizons for them - unrestricted by the requirements of vocation or the desire for qualifications, and it will do so, principally by drawing upon the extensive life experience, skills and energies of the members.

HISTORY OF U3A
The history of U3A and how they operate is on this page.

Around 60 people attended today's dedication ceremony of the Volunteers memorial in the grounds of the Beaudesert RSL. Our U3A was represented and has a plaque on the memorial. This is in conjunction with the centenary of the local RSL.

The ceremony was conducted by Major General John Pearn and other speakers were Carol Castles Vice President of the RSL Sub Branch, Councillor Michael Enright and Errol Guilfoyle RSL President.

A fly past of a Blackhawk helicopter coincided with the unveiling.

U3A President Andy Fechner attended on behalf of our Beaudesert Branch.

A few words about the social lunch on Friday just gone (9th November), at the Logan Village Hotel.

I had not been there previously, so it was a new experience for me. Di Johnson booked for 30, but we ended up with 36 attendees, which was a very good roll up. While taking the food orders was a bit onerous, the staff were very pleasant, and the menu was very varied, with a short list of lunch “specials” for $14.95, and a blackboard menu of other specials of the day. There was also a large general menu to choose from.

The meal servings were generous and of good quality, and the service was well organized. Meal orders were taken by name and table number so as to save confusion. While a little bit away from our usual stamping ground, the occasion was well worth the trip. This was our last formal monthly social lunch outing for 2018, as our December get together will be our Christmas luncheon on the 7th December. (This event is fully booked).

The U3A Card group who play at Jimboomba on Thursdays go to the Logan Village Hotel once per month to play cards, and also have a lunch there, so the venue is well patronised by our U3A. Cheers, Andy
