DO YOU LOVE PERFUME?

In Semester 1 of 2026, we will be offering a new 6-week course called: For the love of Perfume - Scents and Senses. This course will be led by Viv Tolliday at the Sydney office. It will cover the origins, history and ingredients of perfume plus the tales of some of its famous wearers and bottle designers such as Lalique. When Marilyn Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, her classic response was: "Why, Chanel No. 5 of course!".

SHOWING SUPPORT FOR OUR WONDERFUL LEADERS

Each year the City & Inner West u3a Executive Committee convene a Leaders Meeting which is a very important forum for leaders to meet each other, share information and discuss important issues. This year we are intending to combine this meeting with a lunch to show our leaders how much we appreciate them and the time and effort they put into planning and delivering u3a courses and presentations.
