Activities & Outings
Each month, there is a Club excursion event to a place or places of interest, with the emphasis on learning, discovery and socialising. In December, this takes the form of a special Christmas lunch.
Once a year a trip may be planned that involves several days away, outside of Melbourne or beyond Victoria.
Activities are planned by the Committee, and are advertised through the general meetings, the newsletter and this website. In all of the Club’s activities, we are mindful of cost. The committee works hard to arrange interesting quality events that are affordable for members.

Tuesday, September 17th Tour of the Capitol Theatre Celebrating 100 years of architectural and cinematic wonder this year, the Capitol Theatre was designed in an Art Deco / Chicago-Gothic style in 1924 by Marion Mahony Griffin and Walter Burley Griffin. From silent films to near-demolition, refurbishments and reinvention, the theatre has stood the test of time to remain a cultural icon of Melbourne. The tour will give you the opportunity to learn about the fascinating history and unique architecture of the theatre from the beautiful auditorium to the quirky architectural elements of the theatre's design. Make your own way to the theatre and meet at the entry area.
