CLAIRE EGLINTON
Chairman, Newsletter, Webmaster. 

Joined committee mid-term 2006. Enjoys writing our quarterly newsletter and taught herself enough to design this website though 'webmaster' is a very tongue-in-cheek title. Delegate to U3A South Australia (the State network) and U3A Online, State secretary and State delegate to U3A Alliance Australia (the national network) and national bulletin editor. Mastered computing through teaching but continues to show remarkable lack of talent in French.
