UP AND COMING EVENTS  – 2024

FORUM- TUESDAY 9th APRIL, 2024
Electric Vehicles are coming: Brave new world? Or Back to the Future!
(a practical take on owning an EV in Moonee Valley)
The federal government has a target of 87% of new vehicles sold in 2030 to be EVs. So, they are coming. This forum will focus on the practical issue which arise when moving from a petrol-fuelled vehicle to an electric one. It will be presented by one of our members, Jan Goldsworthy. Jan (with her husband) purchased an EV in early 2021 and has first hand experience.

It will be held at Windy Hill Venue at the corner of Napier and Brewster Street Essendon. There is a free car park opposite in Napier Street and the venue is
accessible by the No. 59 tram or Glenbervie or Essendon train stations.

The Forum will commence at 11.00 in the Premiers Room. There will be tea or coffee
available from 10.30. Partners and/or friends of U3A members are also welcome to attend. We encourage those attending to stay for lunch at the Venue’s bistro, where reasonably priced meals, including those on a seniors’ menu, are available.

If you would like to attend, please send an email to info@u3amooneevalley.com.au by

with you, plan to stay for lunch.
