Welcome to U3A Maryborough Qld

Are you in Maryborough, Queensland and looking for something to do with your leisure time? U3A offers the opportunity to attend activities with like-minded people. Our classes are run by volunteer tutors and presently include exercises, tai chi (various groups), yoga, cards, jive and partner dancing, line dancing, creative writing, musical keyboards, ukulele group, mahjong, ballet for seniors, and sing-a-long. See our class list for full details. A wide range of other classes are available to members at Hervey Bay and Howard with whom U3A Maryborough has a reciprocal arrangement for financial members. U3A Online also have a large range of classes, both tutored and self-paced that you can undertake in the comfort of your own home. Check it out!

We are always looking for willing tutors and new classes, so if you have something to offer, please get in touch. Courses can be run for any period of time a tutor considers suitable. Cost is kept to a minimum to allow greater access for members. Most activities are held at the MaDCota Community Hub in Alice Street where brochures and information can be obtained.

Good News! U3A will recommence Classes on Wednesday 27th January 2021. Unfortunately, not all classes can recommence. Exercise and Line Dancing are on hold at the moment due to tutor availability and Cards 500, Mahjong and Hand and Foot are unable to restart due to the COVID-19 restriction of not using shared equipment. We will move on restarting these classes as soon as possible.

Your U3A Committee has decided to roll over Membership and Class Registrations from 2020 to 2021.
New Membership Forms need to be completed and returned no later than 15th January to enable Beth, our Class Coordinator to finalise class lists. Committee members will be at the MaDCota Community Hub Hall, 333 Alice Street on Monday, 11th January 2021 from 10 - 12 noon to collect forms. Alternatively, Kylie at the MaDCota office has kindly offered to accept forms up to 18th December if this suits you better.

Due to Covid19 Rules and Regulations it has been necessary to make some changes and it is to be noted that Class Numbers will need to be limited in a number of cases. New members will only be accepted if there is availability in the classes. Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to offer a trial period for new members as class places will be restricted.

Thanks
Pat Dorland (President)
