Car Parking

Thank you for your continuing cooperation with car parking at the Club. The Club is particularly busy on Wednesdays, so please make the most of the space available including parking directly behind cars of other members that are participating in the same activity. Please see Polly in the front office for more information.

Condolences

Many of you would know Joyleen Litherland, the Woden Seniors Singers conductor, music director and organiser of music and programs for over ten years. Joyleen’s husband, Len passed away on St Valentine’s day. We were proud to sing with two of her grandchildren at the funeral.

Thank you Joyleen. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Woden Seniors Singers.

Tip for the Week

If you receive an email which requires you click on “download pictures” or any other link, have a good look at the full email address. It may say Facebook, for example, in the summary address, but the full address may show it came from somewhere else. If in doubt never click on a link in an email – particularly if it says it is from a bank or financial institution!

Thought for the Week

First day of Autumn! It may be miserable weather at the moment (unless you are a devoted gardener) but we will soon have another beautiful Canberra Autumn to enjoy. Read More

Exercise Programs

We all know how important it is to stay active. Did you know that there are a number of regular exercise activities run by trained instructors each week in the Club.

The first session of the week, a very gentle exercise program is on Tuesday morning from 10.00-11.00 am. The second, a little more vigorous, “Ever Active” is on Wednesday from 8.30 -9.30 am.

There are two Tai Chi and gentle exercise activities, the first on Wednesday at 7.25 am for 60 minutes and the second on Thursday from 2 to 3.30 pm. Why not come along and try any of these? Read More

Welcome back to the Club in 2013. Most of the regular club activities are restarting. The U3A activities start over the next two weeks. Why not try a new activity this year.

Car Parking

And as happens each year at this time there will be pressure on the available car parking spaces, in part due to opportunistic local workers making use of the Club’s empty car park over the Christmas/January break and also with an influx of new members for U3A activities.

The Management Committee will regularly patrol the car park, but is also looking for members who are prepared to regularly assist with surveillance of the car park. It would mean walking through the car park once a month and possibly issuing notices. Can you assist? Read More
