Walk Cancelled

The Rocks walk has been cancelled, the weather is looking unsuitably foul. Postponed until the weather improves.

Technology for Seniors

This video shows some of the features and advantages of modern technology and the Internet. It is not a training video but merely an introduction to some of the possibilities. Worth a look.

It would be possible to show this video in the Laurel Room before a meeting if there was enough interest. Let a committee member know of your interest.

Meeting Outcomes

Home Security Talk

Our thanks to Senior Constable Ben Walsh who delivered a very interesting talk on home security during our regular meeting last Thursday.

Ben also talked briefly about the "Next of Kin" register. He left forms for members to fill in and return to the Lake Illawarra Police Station. This facility enables the police in the event of an emergency to be able to contact your next of kin.

The group's next walk is Exploring Gerringong.

Because of the change of direction the group will meet at Dapto Station at 7.20am to catch the 7.35am train travelling south. Anybody is welcome to join the group.
