The U3A movement in Australia is a loose collection of local U3A organisations who all support the general aims and directions of providing life-long learning opportunities for their members in their 'third age' using the skills of their members gained during their 'second age'.

The 2012 Annual General Meeting and Annual Conference will be hosted by the Port Macquarie Hastings U3A  on 28 – 30 March next year.  We hope that many U3A members from NSW and interstate will come to the conference and enjoy all that Port Macquarie on the mid-north  coast of New South Wales can offer. 

Port Macquarie Hastings U3A has organized an excellent program, with interesting guest speakers,  many interactive workshops, a conference dinner, and entertainment that emphasizes  the lifelong role of the creative arts for healthy ageing.  We hope you will join us to celebrate ‘The Fountain of Age”.

Better Safe Than Sorry – Fire prevention in the home  

The U3A Network is co-operating with Fire & Rescue NSW to promote a new DVD to inform older people about fire risk  in the home. It appears that people aged over 65 make up a quarter of all fire-related deaths in NSW,  and that almost half of these fires start in the kitchen.   

The DVD was launched at the Northern Illawarra U3A. on 22nd June.  It was produced by Why Documentaries (which also produced our promo DVD) and is narrated by nationally known actor Henri Szeps (a Sydney U3A member) as well as featuring ‘cameo’ appearances by 2 Northern Illawarra U3A members

The DVD can be accessed at

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AxC8-B83Pk&feature=player_embedded

Copies of the disc will be distributed to each U3A member of the Network.
