On behalf of the U3A Kingborough Inc. Committee, I would like to extend a warm
welcome all new and renewing members. Again we have interesting courses from our many tutors and a
full range of social events. This will be a special year as U3A Kingborough celebrates our 10th
anniversary - 2000-2010.
On April 14th we will hold a 10th Anniversary Quiz Challenge at
Kingston Gardens. So get a team together and enjoy a fun afternoon of brain fitness with members
and invited guests from neighbouring U3As.
April 16th will be our Annual Sausage Sizzle at
Dru Point. This will be an opportunity to meet new members and chat about our first decade in
Kingborough.
This year also marks a further development in co-operation with other southern
U3A's. Language courses offered by other U3As are now open to our members and vice versa. There is
no additional membership cost but one must enroll as per the respective U3A's procedure. In
summary, Clarence has Esperanto, Glenorchy has Spanish, Hobart has Indonesian and Kingborough has
Welsh. Additional details are in this newsletter.
At the 2009 year end lunch at Westwinds

meal. This venue and meal had many favourable comments and will be considered for the 2010 end of
year lunch.

| Monday 9:30-12:30 | KA2 |
| Art – Figments of Figures | Helen Quilty |
| Class Limit 24 | |
| We will accommodate the many different types
of media favoured in the class – concentrating on figures and faces we will have fun while
building skills and insights into your choice of media. Select from a choice of projects that help
you learn drawing, painting, and problem solving skills. Helenfacilitates and instructs both individuals and the group of artists. She has taught Art for many years at U3A and elsewhere. | |
| Monday 10:00 | KA1 |
| The Youth3A Bookclub | Convenor Bronwen Parr |
| Over the term opportunity will be provided for members to introduce their own selected book, read excerpts, and provide insight into the author, characters and setting as a basis for instigating discussion of issues raised by the book. It is hoped this may stimulate interest by other members to read the authors. One or more books may be discussed each week. In the fourth and fifth weeks of this term we intend to hold group discussions on “Any work you have read”by Thomas Hardy, the well known English author who has written poetry and novels. Happy reading and researching! | |
| Monday 10:00 | KA3 |
| To Buy or Not to Buy | Gifford Causon |
| We look forward to this topical series of
talks about consumerism as it began in the 19th Century. Consumers then were as ‘good if not
better’ than we are today! Topics will include: “A nation of clubs and Shopkeepers”,
“The 19th Century Shop”, “Domestic consumerism”, “Civic Pride”,
“Books and Reading”, “Holidays”, “Sport”, and
“Entertainment”. Gifford is well known to U3A and always gives a thoroughly researched and popular series of talks. | |
| Monday 11:30 | KA1 |
| Have Your Say | Jennie Clarke |
| Class Limit 18 | |
| This popular class is for people who enjoy a
robust discussion about current events and subjects of interest. Everyone has their say and
participants own their own views and respect those of others. After four wonderful years of Joy
Tunney at the helm, the class will now be co-ordinated by Jennie Clarke, an experienced
communicator who oddly sees herself as a social (and occasional) hermit. Jenniewas by profession a Nursing Sister and Communication Counsellor / Leader. Her hobbies include writing and portrait painting.. | |
| Monday 11:30 | KA3 |
| A History of the Australian Light Horse | Nevill Thomas |
| Australian Light Horse were mounted troops
with characteristics of both cavalry and mounted infantry. They served during the Second Boer War
and in World War I. This course, from the perspective of a very enthusiastic amateur, will cover a
history of the Australian Light Horse from formation to disbandment. Nevillwas a regular soldier for 22 years and has been a member of the Light Horse Association for 15 years. For 40 years he has been a keen collector of militaria. | |
| Monday 11:30 | home/KA4 |
| Small Engines – Know How & Maintenance | Roger Hall |
| Class limit 5 | |
| We all have motor mowers (and maybe
brush-cutters or chainsaws) and occasionally pay to have them serviced. This course is suitable for
both men and women and will teach you about 2 and 4 cycle engines and their essential maintenance.
A detailed set of notes will be provided. The course will include the opportunity for practical
hands on maintenance training (at Roger’s home workshop) with students’ own machines.
Roger is an ex TAFE lecturer and examiner and ran his own business. His wide experience makes him an excellent teacher. | |
| Monday 1:30-3:30 | KA3 |
| Mae’r Gymraeg yn Hawdd – Welsh is Easy! | Peter Ball |
| Ten sessions of Welsh language for beginners,
emphasising the spoken language, as it is used in Wales today. The sessions are scheduled for two
hours, which will include about 30 minutes of light relief with music, video, etc. on Welsh
culture. This is to help us progress quickly enough to get a sense of achievement, and still keep
our motivation up. If we find that two hours is too much, we'll just shorten the sessions. The general approach will be based on the very successful “Wlpan” beginners' course regularly run in Wales, which was derived from a system developed in Israel for teaching Hebrew to immigrants. It involves plenty of activity, a lot of talking, and very little writing – a great deal of fun, in other words. Free material from BBC Wales and S4C (Channel 4 Wales) will also be accessible. Peterfrom Bristol, studied in Hull and Belfast, before lecturing in Uganda. In Tasmania he taught and researched at our Uni in social psychology, psycholinguistics and related fields. His recreational interests include choral singing, art and studying languages. | |
| Monday 1:30-3:30 | KA2 |
| Writers Group | Marian Hearn |
| Class limit 15 It is perhaps a measure of the success of the Writing Group that, since starting 8 years ago, 6 writers have independently published books and 2 years ago the Group as a whole combined to produce a collection of their work. However, this is a group where there is no pressure to actively participate at all. Members are welcome to sit and listen until they feel confident to take part. The class usually starts with an exercise to get the writing started then the results are shared – sometimes thought provoking and often hilarious! After a break for a cuppa there is a chance for those who wish to share a little of their current personal writing – true stories, fiction, and the occasional prose or verse. By joining this course you will be encouraged to develop your own writing skills and will gain knowledge and inspiration from the work of others |
|
| Tuesday 9:00-onwards | Field |
| U3A Bushwalkers | Claire Morgan |
| Class limit 15 Bush walking is strenuous. We will walk on bush trails in the mountains in and around Hobart and further afield. Duration will be 3 to 5 hours. Participants must have a reasonable fitness level. Please bring lunch along with water and a first aid kit. Wear sturdy walking boots and bring a walking pole if you wish. On 16th March, the first outing will start with a meeting at the Denison Street car park at 9:30am. New members to this group please phone Claire on 6229 9919 prior to the start of term. | |
| Tuesday 10:00-12:00 | Field |
| Strollers and Ramblers | Judy Sprent |
| Class limit 15 for each. | |
Join us for easy walks enjoying nature and fresh air on local and rural tracks and trails for an invigorating, healthy, social activity, ending in a welcome cuppa nearby. We will walk for about 1 to 1½ hours along beaches, river banks, back roads, paths and reserves. Wear sturdy footwear and bring a raincoat, a drink bottle, sunscreen, a hat and basic first aid items. Walking poles/ sticks are often useful. Participants will get information showing the routes, detailing start and end points and contact numbers. Carpooling is encouraged. As some of the group may like a little more vigorous activity we can arrange ourselves into two groups; the “Ramblers” who walk a little further and the “Strollers” who are more leisurely. On 16th March, the first outing will start with a meeting in the U3A Kitchen at 10:00am to discuss and decide the walks for the term and complete indemnity forms. Judy is a keen walker and naturalist. | |

classical", pop, jazz, opera, show, film, dance, folk, world, religious, swing, ballet, sad
and happy, quiet and noisy - in fact lots! So where to start? Musical taste is very personal - many people "know what they like". Come and broaden your musical experience. A discussion in the first session could be instructive for all of us in setting out a program for the term. The aim each week will be for members to bring some favourite music to share and inform the group about interesting aspects of the composer, artists and history. This background information can stimulate discussion improving musical knowledge for all of us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
