 Its been a while since I posted as we have had a very busy fortnight here in Cowra celebrating the NSW Seniors Festival events. It certainly was a time to Shine.

As Cowra U3A and Cowra Seniors are members of the organising committee hosted by the wonderful Cowra Council we hosted 4 of the events and attended many others. 

on March 4 we began the fortnight with 4 members attending the Cemetery Tour hosted by the Cowra Family History Group. We learnt a lot about some of Cowra's founders.


March 5 saw 7 of us attend the John Wood and Dave Allen "Our Rock and Roll Journey Concert at Club Cowra and what a wonderful morning of music it was.

  
  Watch out for some pictures of the Seniors Festival in Cowra.

 Last Tuesday we enjoyed looking at Norm's wonderful slide shows of travels in outback Western Australia . His images of wildflowers, birds and the scenery are beautiful and bring memories to some who have travelled in Western Australia and delight to those who haven't and probably wont get there.

Thanks Norm we look forward to your next adventure.
