Up for a game or two? We love to play – for fun and for competition!

We meet regularly at the Harmonie German Club to enjoy German cultural delights!

The Harmonics meet every Tuesday from 4pm-6.15pm in the Keller. 

With over 200 Members and the largest fleet in Canberra, we are the largest Club in the region and welcome new rowers and Members all year round.

Joining Canberra Rowing Club provides you with a fun, supportive environment to enjoy the sport you love whilst providing access to equipment and facilities you need.

The Probus Club of Canberra Inc. is the ACT’s longest established Probus club. Founded in 1982. It belongs to the world-wide Probus network which was established by Rotary and we are affiliated with Probus South Pacific Ltd.

Our Probus club has some 70 members at present.  It is an all-male club, but occasionally when there is an appropriate Speaker we invite wives, partners and lady guests to the meetings.

Typically the meeting commences at 09.30am with club business, followed by a club speaker.  Then, at 10.30am, we adjourn for morning tea until 11.00am when the guest speaker gives his or her address.  The meeting concludes at midday, though some members then choose to attend a luncheon in a nearby restaurant with the guest speaker.

Principles of U3A

• To provide affordable learning opportunities for older people, using the skills and abilities of the members themselves;
• Those who learn shall teach and those who teach shall learn, and there shall be no distinction between the two;
• There shall be no qualification for membership, and no awards, degrees and diplomas shall be given;
• The emphasis shall be on learning for the love of it, and shall include an emphasis on the values of making things and improving skills of all kinds;
• Learning shall take place in a friendly, supportive and social environment;
• Those joining U3A shall pay for its upkeep;
• There shall be no payment to any person (member or non-member) for teaching or providing a service to members except in the case of reimbursement for such expenses as travel, photocopying, etc.;
• The curriculum of a U3A shall be determined by the needs/preferences of members and according to the resources available to it; and
• To be at all times, non-political and non-sectarian in our approach.
