U3A Box Hill, City of Melbourne

From Marian Cantwell, Honorary Secretary, U3A Box Hill
Situated in an older, eastern suburb of Melbourne called Mont Albert North/Box Hill, our U3A was established 21 years ago in a former Church building.

Membership
We have over 600 members and have lively competition for membership with a number of other U3A groups, each different in style and culture.

Personal
I came to U3A in 2011 to join a Tai Chi group and find that I’m now the Secretary of the Committee of Management. Each of us finds our own level at U3A but it’s never what you think it might be like!
