U3A Baw Baw

Retirees, you are Invited.

On October 21, U3A Baw Baw will present its 18th Literary Lunch.

If you are a retiree with a thirst for learning and meeting other like-minded people, you are cordially invited to join.

Coinciding with the state-wide senior’s celebrations, we invite the wider community to hear our eminent speaker and find out a little more about U3A. By doing so, we hope to fill a void that many experience when they are newly retired, or new to the area.

Our guest speaker this year is Emeritus Professor Peter McPhee AM. He is an internationally recognised historian and author from the University of Melbourne and will speak about the challenges and delights of writing books and looking for answers.

“What did a great upheaval like the French Revolution mean for ordinary people in the countryside as well as to leaders like Robespierre?”

U3A stands for University of the Third Age. “A U3A is a university in the original sense of the word: a community of people devoted to learning. It is a volunteer co-operative of older people who share many educational creative and leisure activities.

Although it is called a “university”, being in your Third Age is the only qualification needed to participate in U3A.”

U3A Baw Baw prides itself on being friendly and inclusive.

Annual fees are $40 with an initial joining fee of $10. Members attend as many or as few courses that suits them.

The monthly gathering is held at the Royal Hotel in Drouin with a lunch on the second Friday of each month and most courses are held in the Drouin RSL building.
