Why Not Join Us?

Membership open now

Membership of Dapto Seniors is only $15 for the whole year, that’s less than 30 cents a week!

You can’t go wrong. If you only attended our four lunches each year the club subsidises each meal by about $5 so you save $20 there alone. Even better you stand a very good chance of going home with one of the many lucky door prizes.

Have a look at all the activities that go on every day. There is Cards, Carpet Bowls, Craft, Seniors Exercises instructed by a qualified tutor, Concert Group and more not to mention the regular bus trips, picnics and outings.

Bus Trips

Our members have trod upon the hallowed turf of the SCG, gazed through the historic telescope at the Sydney Observatory, wondered at the splendor of the Egyptian Room, learned about the horrors revealed in the Jewish Museum, seen many beautiful Georgian houses that are integral to the history of Australia and even ridden on old trams. These bus trips take place each month and cost a mere $12 plus any entry fees (with a group booking discount) the trip invariably includes a stop for morning tea and a wonderful lunch with good company.

Craft

The craft group meets twice a week and members produce beautiful items for their homes or for charity. Only two meetings ago the group donated a beautiful quilt to Wollongong Childrens’ Hospital for their raffle. The members have a great time producing these magical items, there is always time for a cup of tea and a chat.

Concert Group

We must not forget the ever popular Dapto Seniors Concert Group which performs three times a year to a packed houses. The group is always looking for new performers, singers and back stage helpers. If you have a yen to perform then why not join? The group rehearses every Monday at 12.30pm; why not pop along and find ourt more about it.

There’s more…

This are just a few of the activities of Dapto Seniors - for more information come along to our fortnightly meeting where you can have a cup of tea and biscuits, browse the books and other goodies on the trade table and make new friends. You have nothing to lose, if it is not for you then you have lost nothing but we think you will find our exciting prtogram too good to miss.

As we said membership is only $15 a year… Come on what are you waiting for?

Getting Back in Harness

It’s February Already!

With the first week of February already upon us all the weekly group meetings are back in their regular timeslots. Some have been meeting for a few weeks but this week sees them all in full swing.

Just a reminder of the days and times:

Monday	Craft Concert Group	9.00 am 12.30 pm
Tuesday	Carpet Bowls	8 am
Wednesday	Card Playing	9.30 am
Thursday	Exercise Group	12.30 pm
Friday	Craft	1 pm

The first bus trip of the year took place on Monday to the Centre for Sustainable Living at Mount Annan. It was a very interesting trip epecially seeing how even a small garden or a balcony can be turned into a productive area.

After visiting the centre we all went to Campbelltown Catholic Club for a meal, a drink and a social get together before returning home. A good day out.

The Meeting

The club’s regular meeting on the 28th January saw the first draw of the new raffle prize of $50. The following draws saw prizes of $20 and $10 handed out. Don’t forget it will be the same again at the next meeting.The next lucky member could be you!

On Thursday 4th February members are invited to come on a self catering picnic to Fitzroy Falls. Members will meet at 8.30 am in the car park before they set off. There should be room for those without their own transport. BBQs will be available at the site or you can bring sandwiches. These events have been very enjoyable in the past.

There was some discussion at the meeting about transport with the result that the club will be writing to our local members of the NSW Parliament as well as the Minister for Transport regarding matters to do with the Opal card, the snail pace of Sydney trains and the overcrowding on the South Coast line.

The club will be holding a free Pie and Peas night on the 26th February at 5 pm (to be confirmed) for its members. Put the date in your diary, it should be an enjoyable get together.

The next meeting is on the 11th February - usual place, usual time – see you then.
