    Pickleball at PCYC

    Registration for this event opens on 7 April 2026

    Presenter:  Wendy Taylor

    Pickleball is a mix of tennis, table tennis and badminton.  Pickleball is fun, social and friendly.  It is played with a paddle and using a perforated plastic ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court.

    By playing pickleball, seniors can improve their balance and coordination, reducing their risk of falls and injuries.  Pickleball can be mentally stimulating because it requires focus, strategy and quick decision making.

    To play pickleball at PCYC, you will need to be a member of the club.  Membership for U3A pickleball players is free.  However, you will be asked to complete a manual membership form available at the front desk of the PCYC (not online) and will then receive a PCYC tag to be used for admission to the club.

    ** Please note ~ changed to Mondays for Term 2. Courts unavailable on Tuesdays.

    Please wear comfortable enclosed shoes and a bottle of water. There is a weekly court fee of $8.50.

    My First 80 Years - Gordon Hall's Story

    Registration for this event opens on 7 April 2026

    Presenter: Gordon Hall

    This story is not a talk, it's a colourful video presentation (based on Gordon's 2025 book)

    The story begins in 1941 when the devastating WWII was raging, and the family farm was needed by the US army as a military vehicle storage depot. So, the Hall's lost their land without any notice, consultation or compensation. But in war, many people lost much more  ...  they lost their lives.

    It is the story about a fortunate life, many adventures, the people met on life's journey and the many changes that 80 years have given us.

    Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.

    Table Tennis

    Registration for this event opens on 7 April 2026

This is especially important as we age because tasks such as writing and driving a car are dependent on coordination and flexibility! The activity increases heart rate and contributes to good blood circulation. The game is easy to learn; however, players need to be confident of their mobility.

    All equipment is supplied, and the venue is air conditioned. Comfortable clothing and supportive footwear to be worn. Bring a water bottle.

    Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.

It will examine the nature of wisdom, how we may grow in wisdom and what may inhibit our growth. The sessions are presented in a light-hearted way.

    Registration for this event opens on 7 April 2026

    Presenter: Denis Simond

    Do you remember when we stood around the piano in our lounge rooms and sang along to the most popular songs of the time ? Perhaps you enjoyed singing along to “Top 40” radio or TV music shows or enjoyed the musicals at “The Flicks”.

    This weekly program is designed to revisit those family and friends’ Singalongs, without the piano but featuring the popular artists of bygone eras. As well as popular singers, the lyrics will accompany the music, so you can listen, or join in as you wish.

    Singing is good for your wellbeing so join fellow U3A members each week and:  “Sing, Sing a Song.”  Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear.  Just "Sing, Sing a Song”.

    There are more than 150 songs from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and some memorable musicals, so you should find many of your old favourites.

    Please arrive early to assist with room setup.

    Medicinal Cannabis, a catalyst for restoring dignity, capacity and self-determination

    Registration for this event opens on 7 April 2026

    Presenter: Jason Frost

    This talk shares the personal recovery journey of retired Australian Army Sergeant Jason Frost and explores how new approaches to veteran health are challenging conventional treatment models.

    Jason begins by outlining his 16 years of military service, joining the Army at 19 and retiring at 35 as a Platoon Sergeant after cumulative injuries sustained in high-stress operational environments.  Following discharge, he was diagnosed with chronic pain, spondylosis, PTSD and major depressive disorder.  Treatment relied heavily on multiple pharmaceuticals. The resulting polypharmacy contributed to severe side effects including memory loss, behavioural changes, seizures and suicidal ideation.

    The turning point came through exposure to veteran peer networks and emerging therapies, including medicinal cannabis and trauma-focused rehabilitation.  Jason discusses how these approaches became a catalyst for restoring dignity, capacity and self-determination.

    ** The presentation concludes on Thursday 30th April with a site visit to the Wagga Pro Patria Centre.  The site visit is a separate event so you will also need to register for it.

    The talk and the tour can be undertaken independently of each other but participating in both would be a more enriching experience.

    I decided to take a GAP year when I turned 60.

    Men must work and Women must weep. (Where are women in history?)

    Registration for this event opens on 25 May 2026

    Presenter: Janice Gemmell

    Event Manager: Margaret Sutherland

    Where do we find women in history? Many have been hidden but they are able to be found.

    This talk will show that women, apart from being necessary for the continuation of the population, have had much more input than just that. From early days of human society the contribution of women has been an essential for a prosperous economy, only losing this contribution once patriarchy is again practiced.

    Much has changed in most modern societies but not all.

    Most of my talk will address the place of women from very early days until now but I will finish with a short biography of each of three women who did not conform.

    Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.

    A point in time with the lost in society,  homelessness!

    Registration for this event opens on 1 June 2026

    Presenter: Phil Barton

    Event Managers: Judy Lewis / Sue Maxwell

    The presentation is a snapshot about the lost in society, who ended up in Wilks Park during the extreme weather events of August & September 2022.

    It is the trials and tribulations in being able to break through their disrespect of authority, skepticism and mistrust of strangers.  Once through the shield of resistance, sporadic dialogue followed, then spending time in squalor trying to improve their living standards.

    The risk to one's personal safety was an ever-present danger, the toxic mix of alcohol, drugs, and mental illness took me on an unforgettable journey!

    Phil will also talk about practical ways of assisting displaced persons, including affordable transitional housing to bring them back into society.
