Providing a learning co-operative for 'third agers'
There is a monthly General Meeting which takes place at St Andrew’s Croquet Club on the second Thursday of the month. A monthly Current Affairs course also takes place there on the third Thursday of the month. Other courses take place at Berea Gardens’ venues and smaller courses are held in various homes. Some courses are closed due to their nature and limits on accommodation. There are activities involved in pastimes such as Mah jong. The current programme is attached. Sign up for courses takes place in November each year, but newcomers may join open courses at any time.
The annual fee is R50 and that is payable whenever in the financial year to June that the person joins. A fee of R5 is payable at each meeting. Visitors may attend two meetings at a cost of R10 per meeting, but then are expected to join.
The easiest way to join is merely to come along to one of the general meetings and fill in a membership form. Otherwise, the current membership secretary is Margaret Baxter tel 043 721 2130, cell 082 444 9114, e mail margaretbaxter35@gmail.com
