Calendar
Speaker: Dr Gary Presland, historian & Australian archaeologist, and author of First People: The Eastern Kulin of Melbourne, Port Phillip and Central Victoria.
The hall will be open at 1:15pm to view a display on Early Eltham Shire 1830 onwards. The Eltham Book Shop will have a table of books for sale including Gary Presland’s book.
Organised by St Margaret’s Do Justice Group.
Eltham Little Theatre are generously offering U3A members half price tickets for some of their shows of I’ll Be Back Before Midnight by Peter Colley. The relevant dates are Sunday 18th April at 2pm, Saturday, 24th April at 2pm and Thursday 29th April at 8pm.
Here's the blurb about the show: Jan has recently suffered a nervous breakdown, and her husband Greg, an archaeologist, has rented an old farmhouse in the country where she can recover. When George, the hilarious farmer they rent the house from, tells stories about a terrible murder that once took place in the farmhouse and the ghost that reputedly stalks the night, Jan’s imagination gets fired up. The situation gets even worse when Laura, Greg’s beautiful but manipulative sister, arrives. Soon Jan finds herself tormented by strange sounds in the night, and visions of the vengeful ghost. Is she having another breakdown? Is someone trying to drive her mad? When she tries to defend herself from this apparition, events take an unexpected turn in a night of unimaginable suspense.

Ross Garnaut’s latest book, Reset: Restoring Australia after the Pandemic Recession sieves through the current devastation and sees an opportunity for revolutionary change. By homing in on our potential for being a renewable superpower, Garnaut argues that Australia has the potential to re-set its economy, build a successful future, and be a symbol for the kind of environmentally conscious world that we all need.

The AGM is the most important meeting of the year for Nillumbik U3A members. By attending, you can contribute to the running of our organisation and find out the latest on the issues facing us. This year, the focus will be on it being a social occasion where we meet to celebrate both our return to face-to-face classes and our new headquarters at Eltham Central Pavilion.
Organising this year’s AGM is a uniquely complex exercise because we don’t yet know what the number limitations and other Covid-19 restrictions will be (and, obviously, we will be compliant with whatever the restrictions are). To help us plan the process, please rsvp by Monday, 22nd March if you are planning to attend.
Because of the uncertainty, we have decided not to invite an external speaker to the AGM this year. Rather, the meeting will comprise the usual business of electing next year’s committee etc, then talks by our President (Guy) and Treasurer (Jean), and then socialising over food and drink.
It would be great if some of you would consider nominating to be on the Committee. We particularly need some people from Hurstbridge, Diamond Creek and the other areas in Nillumbik outside of Eltham. If you are potentially interested, contact Guy by phone (0411 520 850) or email (guy@nillumbiku3a.org.au) and we can discuss what is involved over a coffee.
