Table Tennis is a sociable, fun sport for two or four players. Great for hand-eye coordination and flexibility. This is especially important as we age because tasks such as writing and driving a car are dependent on coordination and flexibility! The activity increases heart rate and contributes to good blood circulation.
The game is easy to learn; however, players need to be confident of their mobility.
All equipment is supplied, and the venue is air conditioned.
Comfortable clothing and supportive footwear to be worn. Bring a water bottle.
The venue’s social distancing will be observed.
Participants MUST comply with all current GOVERNMENT and HEALTH regulations while attending U3A classes. Stay at home if unwell.

Mystery Books is a book club with a difference. There isn’t any mystery about the books we discuss however they fall into the broad range of crime fiction…with true crime and thrillers allowed. Crime fiction has many variants, Scandi crime, historic crime fiction, Australian crime to name a few.
The idea is that we bring along books we have read and enjoyed so as to introduce new authors or books to other book club members. Your books are then available to swap with interested members if you are willing to do so.
We meet in the very pleasant surroundings of The Curious Rabbit Cafe in Johnston Street to have discussions over coffee/tea and cake, enjoyable but optional.

The pace will be social and pushing up hills on foot (if necessary) is definitely acceptable. No road riding will be expected and safety will always be the most important consideration.

If you have enjoyed June’s watercolour class previously, please note we will be following the same route. You are very welcome to return BUT you will be expected to try out all the simple activities once again…..as well as contributing to the class now that you have some expertise!!! It should be a great collaborative time. A range of weekly follow up activities that should challenge everyone will be offered. These may include other mediums such as pen/paper/pencils/crayon. You might consider also enrolling in Painting for Pleasure to extend your self. It would be a great way to follow up on the class activities. And don’t forget the Winter Creative Challenge.

Hooray!! We’re back!!! Following the success of last years Winter Creative Challenge, we will run again this year.
How does the challenge work! On the FIRST day of each month June, July and August the challenge will be issued via email. The topic will be fairly broad to inspire you to get creating in your favourite medium.
If you are a beginner in some area it may give you the inspiration need to get started. You can be as specific in interpreting the challenge or as broad as you wish. You can change mediums from month to month!! Don’t rule out those fun things you do with grandchildren like making Lego, box art or sandcastles. Part of the fun may be interpreting the challenge to fit your activity!
You will have the whole month to create in your own time. Please return your creation via email NO LATER THAN the last day of each month. All creations will be accepted without judgement as a photo/s attached to an email with a title and statement of the medium used, the size, plus one or two sentences of explanation.
Check out last years event on the U3A Wagga Wagga home page. On the top tab you will see the last drop down is Gallery. Open Gallery and you will find five challenges. We extended the time due to COVID restrictions. Fingers crossed that we only have 3 this year in June, July and August.
Get creative before Spring is sprung!!
