U3A Batemans Bay classes, which were postponed due to the Covid outbreak, will recommence from Monday 2 August.
U3A Batemans Bay has been providing learning opportunities and social activities for the over 50s since 1996. We are the largest volunteer run organisation in the Eurobodalla Shire. We are run by members for members and rely on the voluntary contribution of skills, knowledge and ideas.
Our activities are determined by the interests of the members themselves, and by the willingness of members to lead and coordinate activities.
To attend any course you must be a member of U3A Batemans Bay which costs $40 a year. There is currently half yearly fee of $20. This can be paid in person at the IMB Bank in Batemans Bay and Moruya, or by EFT to the following account: U3A Batemans Bay Inc. BSB 641-800 Account no. 200652862. Please include your membership number which will be issued when you apply to join. Your membership will not be activated until payment is made. Payment of the membership fee entitles members to participate in as many activities as they wish.
Information on joining can be found on our website bbay.u3anet.org.au or by leaving a message on 82505262. There will also be a Shopfront held at the Batemans Bay Library from 10 am – 12.30 pm on Friday 30 July, where you can join, (sorry no credit card facilities), collect previously ordered badges, and find out about classes. For information about Shopfront please call our Membership Co-Ordinator Maureen O’Brien, on 0419586072
This semester we are offering over 50 different activities at a variety of venues throughout the shire. Activities are classified under the broad headings of History and Culture, Science and General Interest, Literary Activities, Arts and Crafts, Physical Activities and Recreational Activities. We also offer a Saturday Talks program and a Science Kaleidoscope, where invited guests offer presentations on various topics.
For more information go to our website http://bbay.u3anet.org.au. and access the newsletter which contains the course program. The newsletter is also available in the shire libraries.
Due to increased Covid restrictions there are some new measures in place. Masks must be worn by all participants, no matter what the class. Classes are limited to 25, and exercise classes to 20. Social distancing must be maintained throughout the sessions. Each returning class will have a Covid marshal to ensure that everybody is kept safe.
We look forward to welcoming new members to our vibrant organisation.
