Apology
The NB Executive Committee has become aware that some confusion has arisen in relation to the
request for its members to contribute $2 at each class to cover the cost of tea, coffee and other sundry
expenses. The background to this request was explained in an email from our President, Ruth Buchanan,
dated 28 July 2014.
We would like to emphasise that this request to members is, of course, on a voluntary basis and was
never intended to be mandatory. It is the principle of Sydney U3A that there are no mandatory charges
other than the annual membership fees.
We apologise that this misunderstanding arose.

“What do we understand about inherited

Is anyone listening to A Senior Moment or Two on Radio
Northern Beaches 88.7 and 90.3 FM?
Every Friday at 11 am David Harris interviews a U3A Course
Leader featuring the Who, What, Where of the Course.
A perfect spring day
heralded the fifth Annual
Picnic at Manly Dam on
Thursday 23 October. Approximately 100
members enjoyed the sunshine and
wonderful food catered by a willing team of
members. Unfortunately, at the last minute,
the guest speaker was unable to attend and
therefore Rosemary McCulloch addressed
the group on various Australian and English
poets and authors. The time went by far too
quickly but a great time was had by all.
