During the 10 years or so of its existence, this group has viewed masterpieces from the silent era up to the present day. And under the guidance of film buff Rick Thompson, our members have discussed what makes cinema the liveliest art.
New members welcome. Please call Margaret Stratton on 0411 526 899.
Who won the social media debate
The annual debate between U3A Northern Illawarra and Bulli High School took place on March 22nd at the Thirroul Community Centre.
The topic ‘Social media is detrimental to society’ sparked a good deal of interest with the students, understandably, choosing to speak to the negative.
The adjudicator, the Lord Mayor of Wollongong, Gordon Bradbery, felt that the Bulli High team, most of whom were in year 8, acquitted themselves very well, but the U3A debaters had won.
