Ema Mei will be teaching simple and easy to learn conversational and written Mandarin in the familiar Latin alphabet called PINYIN.Mandarin is the official form of Chinese spoken by over 730 million people and is arguably the current most important Asian language.We will also be looking at everyday situations and aspects of Chinese culture.

U.3.A. NEWS

Secretary, Jean and Treasurer, Pat represented our U3A at this year's U3A Network NSW's Annual State Conference and A.G.M. hosted by Eastlakes U3A and held at the Belmont 16' Sailing Club. This year's conference co-incided with the Network's 25th Anniversary and was extra 'special'There were three excellent keynote speakers as well as 8 workshops and Jean and Pat attended 2 different ones each, a total of 4 which gave us some great ideas to bring back for new classes for our U3A. During a lull in proceedings we were entertained by a group of Eastlake's Middle Eastern Dancing class with their graceful dancing and beautiful costumes. The conference dinner gave our delegates an opportunity to 'network' with some of the 177 delegates representing 43 U3As state- wide. It was a delight to listen to the 20 strong Barbershop Choir -a male a cappella

group from the Newcastle area.The A.G.M. which followed the next day saw some changes on the Network's Committee and a book The Brief History of the U3A Network NSW Inc. 1991 – 1016 prepared by Dr Ronald Browne AM was launched by him and a copy presented to each Network member U3A, including ours. A session followed with three of U3As 'living treasures' Mel Davies, Cecily Butcher and Ern Hollebone recalling some of the Network's highlights of the past 25 years.At the conclusion of the A.G.M. Jean and Pat spent a great afternoon at the home and studio (now a museum) at Wangi Wangi of one of Australia's most loved artists, Sir William Dobell.From start to finish the conference would have to be one of the best ones held so far and Eastlakes are to be congratulated for their great organisation.Next year's conference will be hosted by Sydney U3A at the Sydney Town Hall, June 28 – 30, 2017
