April is drawing to a close this week, but there are plenty of activities at Horsham U3A to keep everyone busy. If you are over 55 and no longer working full time, then consider joining us. Check out what’s on below and our 5 top picks for this week.
Local History : Harrow
Step back in time with our Horsham U3A Local History Group as we explore Harrow – often described as Victoria’s oldest inland town. On Monday 20th April from 10.00 am we’ll look at Harrow’s early days, its role in the district and some of the people and stories that shaped the township. Our guest speaker is U3A member Bill Goodwin, who grew up in Harrow and will share his memories of the town and its community. Everyone with an interest in local or family history is very welcome to come along, share memories and enjoy a relaxed morning of photos, maps and conversation.
