"This term our talks co-ordinator has secured the services of some very eminent speakers," publicity officer Gill Divers said.
"On February 2 is The Front Comes Home: Broken Soldiers of World War I, where our speaker examines the cases of veterans who returned psychologically damaged with a lack of appropriate ongoing treatment.
"February 9 is a visit from Bundanon Trust: Arthur and Yvonne Boyd's Extraordinary Gift of their Art Collection and on February 16 our topic is Talking About Elder Abuse (TEA); What is it, what are the signs?
"As well as the very popular courses on tai chi, mahjong and tap dancing, we will be repeating What's in the News, a lively debate on current events [referee included] and Armchair Theatre.
"For this term we are introducing new topics such as The Scandinavians, an Introduction to Philosophy, also The Marlboroughs, and Trails of Evidence [forensic science]."
The members' excursion for the first term of 2015 will be on March 9 to the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Nowra, with lunch at the Flight Deck Cafe, followed by a visit to Meroogal, a Sydney Living Museum historic home.
Transport will be by coach and there will be guided tours at both venues.
