Manningham University of the Third Age (U3A) provides a stimulating social
and learning environment for senior members of the community. It was
formed following a meeting initiated by the then Doncaster &
Templestowe Council and commenced activity in October 1991 when 12 classes
were offered to about 35 members. In 2009 some 168 classes were conducted
by 115 tutors for a membership of about 1370.
Membership is open to all mature age prople who are not in full time
employment and who are interested in working together to keep their minds
and bodies active. There are no ability limits, no entry requirements and
no examinations. A lower age limit of 45 applies only to classes with
waiting lists.
Tutors and office bearers provide their services free. Costs are kept
as low as possible. Currently, the annual membership fee is $40. A
concession fee of $20 is extended to members of other U3As. This fee
enables you to attend most classes with no additional payment. However,
course/facility fees apply to some classes where costs are incurred in hiring or
purchasing of equipment and/or rental of facilities. Costs may also
apply in some classes for materials or class notes.
The classes offered depend on the availability of volunteer tutors.
Volunteers for existing and new areas are always welcome.
