FROM FAMILY HOME, where next?

Jan Desmond
Whether it’s to a retirement village or to residential care, there’s

HOUSING DECISIONS: Modify or move?
Code AS4
John Millar, Council on the Ageing
The options are many and the choice daunting. A house can be

Home..’ above.)

Tuesday 19 May, 10-11am. $12 / $8 conc.
THE STORY OF SPELLING Paquita Boston
Code AS10
Spelling is fun, and children can thoroughly enjoy it. That’s
because there are rules, and children relish rules, says Paquita
Boston, especially if their reasons involve invasions by Romans
and Vikings. As you hear the story of spelling, you’ll hear ideas of
child labour, English slavery and the Black Death.
Paquita will explain the reasons behind some of the rules

KNOW THINE ENEMY: The ferals
Code AS17
Peter Spencer
Feral camels, foxes, pigs and cats cause irreparable damage right
across Australia. It’s even worse when feral pigs, for example,
are dumped illegally in the bush to breed and become targets for
shooters. DNA technology offers ways to find out if the animals
are from other areas, and scientists now have court-defensible
data to prosecute people dumping them. Peter Spencer of
Murdoch University describes the work.
Tuesday 16 June, 10-11am. $12 / $8 conc.
ISRAEL AND DISSIDENCE Katie Attwell
Code AS18
Many Israeli Jews rail against their country’s actions against
Palestinians. But their larger political belief system was born
out of the nationalist ideal that brought Israel into being. Their
distress over the treatment of Palestinians sits uneasily alongside
their national identity. Katie Atwell, a political scientist, explored
with some of these Jews what it means when those keen to
resolve the outer conflict are trapped by inner conflict.
Friday 19 June, 10-11.30am. $12 / $8 conc.
WHICH BUS OR TRAIN? David McMahon
Code AS19
Not long ago we could phone and ask which bus or train to
catch. It’s now called ‘journey planning’, and needs websites,
smartphone apps and info-lines. Even choosing the right type of
ticket is complicated – and then there’s the safety issue.
Come for a very useful talk with Transperth. Bring your iPad if
you can, and your questions.
Friday 26 June, 10-11am. $5.
DINGOES UP CLOSE Barbara York
Code AS20

A word from our Chair,
There are lots of things I love about Glyde-In. High on my list
are our wonderful volunteers and staff who contribute so much
to making Glyde-In such a vibrant and enjoyable place to visit.
Our volunteers maintain our gardens, do many maintenance
jobs and construction jobs (like building our deck), make
jams and preserves or bring potted plants for sale, run our
many clubs and groups, staff our enrolment desks, post and
deliver our programme, drive our bus, arrange and run trips in
Australia and overseas, serve on the Management Committee ..
and so the list goes on.
Australia is blessed with many dedicated volunteers, from
grandparents looking after the little ones right through to
those brave bushfire fighters. We hear little about the millions
of dollars saved by the many volunteers working quietly in
many organisations and places. We need to appreciate our
volunteers, so thank you to our volunteers at Glyde-In and to
all the other volunteers who help to make Australia a great
place to live.
Thank you also to our dedicated staff. Ann, Sandra, Marnie and
Joanna are always helpful and cheerful and all help to make
Glyde-In such a well-run organisation.

WHO WE ARE
Glyde-In Community Learning Centre began in 1981. It offers
courses, talks and activities that we hope will enrich members’
enjoyment and knowledge, and foster a healthy community life.
We aim to be a source of learning that doesn’t cost the earth, that
doesn’t need prior knowledge or qualifications, and asks only a
small commitment of time.
Our courses are non-competitive and informal. Tutors are from
all walks of life, and we welcome more. We generate much of our
funding through membership and course fees, and are supported
greatly by the Town of East Fremantle, which provides our
building and very substantial funding.
We appreciate their support.
Glyde-In is a non-profit organisation managed by a volunteer
Management Committee. Volunteers play a significant role in the
work of the Centre. Membership is a requirement for those who
undertake more than a single one-day course or event per year.
Room hire
Our comfortable rooms and our facilities are available for group
hire. Availability, however, is limited mainly to evenings and
weekends. Rooms cost $20/hour for groups initiated and run
by Glyde-In members, $23 for non-profit groups not affiliated
directly with us, and $30 otherwise. Groups charging entry
require their own public liability insurance. Use of our data
projector, laptop, exercise gear, etc is also available (with
refundable deposits).
Please phone us for details of availability.
HOW TO ENROL
Enrolments begin on Wednesday 22 April, 8.30am-3pm (online
from 10am) and continue throughout the term,

someone come and enrol for you. If you post it in, and you
require a receipt or a list of materials or information, be sure to
include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Sorry, no phone enrolments on or before enrolment day.
Consider yourself enrolled unless you hear otherwise.
Please choose carefully – refunds or credits are not issued if you
cancel after the first week of term. However, if you can’t attend,
you’re welcome to transfer your booking to another person –
just let us know if you do.
We appreciate notification if you are not able to attend.
