University of the Third Age Manningham (U3A Manningham) was formed following a meeting initiated by the then Doncaster & Templestowe Council and commenced activity in October 1991 when 12 classes were offered to about 35 members.
The U3A Manningham Story
This is the story of U3A Manningham from the first meeting in 1991 to December 2016, the 25th anniversary, written in easy-to-read style.
The story is in three parts:
- Part 1 – A Decade of Achievement – the first ten years
- Part 2 – Our Odyssey Continues – 2002 – 2008
- Part 3 – At the Pines – 2009 to 2016
A dedicated group of members (Leslie Dale, Heather Ambrose, Bridget Halge, Quintin Coutinho and Anoop Chauhan) compiled Part 3 – At the Pines – covering the years 2009 to 2016.
