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. Gordon Mac Nish, Chair.

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, spaces permitting.
