They will also have information about their exciting new project, a Summer School for January, where members will be able to access one day workshops on a variety of subjects to fill in the void before classes start back in earnest on the first week of February, 2020.
U3A publicity officer Brian Spilsbury said there is plenty to learn at U3A.
"If your New Year Resolution for 2020 is to become more healthy and fit then U3A now have Walking 4 Health Groups every week day, a gentle exercise class called Movers 'N' Shakers, three Tai Chi classes," he said.
"As well, there is Line Dancing, four choirs, a Photography Special Interest Group, 'hands on' Gardening classes, Languages - including Auslan (signing for the hearing impaired), Art, Science, Philosophy and many more subjects to choose from. There are a number of recreational groups available as well, such as Croquet, Mahjong, Bridge, bus trips to theatres, galleries and other places of interest and for the more adventurous there are the Ramblers, Kayaking and Bushwalking Groups."
He said there would be static displays on the day and demonstrations from some of the classes, which people will be able to watch or join in or just sit for a while and listen to one of the U3A choirs perform.
"If you would like to know more about classes, excursions and bus trips or would like to join U3A Goulburn Mulwaree Inc., there will be volunteers to answer any questions you may have and what's an Open Day without a Sausage Sizzle?
