Bereavement Notice
It’s with sadness we say goodbye to one of our U3A Tawa members, Allan Robson, who passed on Wednesday 24th August aged 87 years old. Our condolences go out to his wife Maureen.

Our Tai Chi tutor brought along some fans for us to try out while doing our Tai Chi exercises today. Great fun, and I think we all mastered the simple exercises, even though two of us were left-handed and caused Mercedes (our tutor) some difficulties.
