Farewell 2018!

2018 has ended as far as the activities of Dapto Seniors are concerned but we will be back in 2019 with all our regular activities.

Christmas Lunch

The final event of the year was the club’s Christmas Lunch held at Dapto Leagues Club where the staff always look after us very well.

The food was among the best of the year with duck, beef wellington, Christmas pudding and trifle on the menu. Between courses the draw for the beautiful quilt and the blanket made by the craft group was held. Thank you to everyone that took part.

After the food there was a lot of chatting as well as the lucky door prize draw – every attendee went home with a prize.

CPSA Annual Conference 2018

The Dapto Team

Dapto Seniors Delegates

The afternoon before the conference the Dapto delegates and observers took the train to Sydney to book in at our accommodation. Afterwards we assembled at the nearby Great Southern Hotel for light refreshments and, for some, an evening meal.

During the evening we were joined by the members of the ABC Classic FM staff from all over the state in town for fun and frolics (one of whom kindly took this photo).

The CPSA Conference

On the following morning our delegates arrived at the conference venue bright eyed and bushy tailed to sign in at 8.30am.

Early on the first day they were very proud to witness a member of Dapto Seniors being presented with a well deserved Association Life Membership. The presentation was made by Dr Michael Wynne, a guest speaker.

Presentation of Association Life MembershipPresentation of Association Life Membership

The conference takes place over two days and frankly is shambolic,  it was very hard to hear or understand the Chairperson (our table was near the back as usual) and the proceedings certainly made our club meetings look very slick and well managed. However we muddled through and it has to be said the provided food was fine.

181031 002 CPSA Annual Conference

Our President once again gave his Bush Telegraph report about the activities at Dapto Branch of the CPSA including information about our craft group making laundry bags for the Defence Force  (Hero Quilts and Laundry Bags), he also mentioned our many weekly activities, this web site, our history and our brochure. He also gave a report on the activities of the South Coast Area Council.

The Guest Speakers

This year all the guest speakers were very good though, at times, it was hard to hear what they were saying or see the slides on the screen. Head Office is going to send out copies of the slides in the near future.

“Is Aged Care a failed system and what can we do about it?”
Presented by Dr Michael Wynne from Aged Care Crisis

“Why are energy prices so high?”
Presented by Thea Bray; Project Officer for Energy and Water within the Public Interest Advocacy Centre.

“Financial rights and vulnerabilities”
Presented by Diana Bernard from Seniors Rights Service

Report

At our next branch meeting on 15th November our President will make a full report about the conference and the ‘goings on’.

Sunday 28 October 2018

Social Day Out

12th April 2018

It was mid morning as members made their way to Integral Energy Park and the Motorlife Museum’s Brabham Room for the club’s annual Social Day Out.

Maureen had organised her probing trivia quiz so there was plenty of chat and happy banter as the group tucked into the lovely cakes and slices for morning tea while they puzzled over the questions.

180412 006 Seniors Social Day Out Integral Energy Park

The chicken lunch arrived on cue at midday which cut the buzz of conversation to a minimum but once the food had been devoured the laughter and conversation started up again.

The temperature outside was 35°C; far too hot for the outdoor games that had been planned so members stayed in the air conditioned comfort and enjoyed each others company.

It’s a New Year - 2018

First Meeting – Different Venue

The club’s first meeting of 2018 is on Thursday, 25th January at the usual time but the meeting will take place in Kurrajong Hall 1 which is the hall in the actual Ribbonwood Centre. Click on the map below for exact location. The change of venue is because Heininger Hall is being repaired on this date.

All following meetings for 2018 will be held in Heininger Hall as usual.

Membership Fees Due

As most members will know all membership fees are now due for 2018. Envelopes will be available at the meeting, please fill in your details, put the exact money in the envelope and seal it. Make life easy for our hard working treasurer as she will not be able to give change.

Because of the location it will not be possible for us to set up the trade table but all the other activities should take place.

The committee looks forward to seeing all our members return in 2018.
