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.
NOTE: With respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, RSV and influenza still circulating in our community, members are encouraged to continue to exercise caution and follow health department guidelines with regard to social distancing and mask wearing.
Please do not attend a Club activity if you are feeling unwell or have any flu/COVID-like symptoms
