Dapto Seniors and Heininger Hall

Dapto Seniors’ first home was donated by Dapto Bowling Club at least forty years ago and served its purpose until the club outgrew it. It was situated on the eastern edge of what is now the Heininger House car park.

Members lobbied Council to build a new Senior Citizens Centre which resulted in Heininger House being built for Dapto Seniors and occupied in 1985. From 1985 to 2001 the seniors club managed the premises letting various rooms for community groups and people from all walks of life. It was run by a management committee comprised of a majority from Dapto Seniors and a minority representing other local community organisations.

The hall was only officially opened in 1988 even though the club had been running it for three years.

The management committee ran the premises at a profit and, as will be seen later, were able to hand over a considerable sum of money to the Council in 2001.

In 2000 the committee was approached by Council and asked if they would like to continue running the premises after the construction of the Ribbonwood Centre was completed. At this time the construction of the Ribbonwood Centre was completely divorced from Heininger House. The management committee was unaware that the new buildings were actually going to abut the hall.

Negotiations for a Council takeover commenced early 2000 and from the outset the council promised Dapto Seniors free use of the hall and all its facilities in perpetuity if management was taken over by the Council. Unfortunately a promise from the council representative that any set up would be carried out by Council free of charge was never written down. The minutes of March 1^st 2001 and April 12^th 2001 (Dapto seniors meetings) record a letter sent by council confirming this free use of the hall and all its facilities.

Upon the handover on 1^st July 2001 Council employees collected all documentation including the above mentioned letter as well as $48819.00 which had been accumulated by the management committee.

NB: This information was compiled from minutes and other records of Dapto Seniors as well as the recollection of a lady who was club secretary for 17 years and a member of the management committee during the transfer to Wollongong City Council.

It’s starting to look a lot like…

Christmas Concert

Our Christmas Concert was a great success with nearly 150 people enjoying a fun filled concert. We had people from as far away as Penrith attending. Cheers of “encore” echoed through the hall. Afterwards there was a snack, tea or coffee and the gigantic door prize draw.

During the show a star was born.

The Christmas Lunch

As usual members enjoyed a fantastic Christmas lunch in the Sinclair Room at Dapto Leagues Club. The main course offered a choice of Barramundi or Pork with Pavlova or Trifle for desert. No-one complained!

At the lunch a past President, Vice President and long time member was presented with a Branch Life membership for the years of work she had put into the club, an award she very much deserved.

2017

Don’t forget the club’s first meeting in 2017 is not until 9^th February due to Heininger Hall being refurbished and the clash with Australia Day however the groups will start meeting in their usual venues after the 20^th January 2017.

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

Wow! doesn’t time fly? It is nearly time for the first meeting of 2016.

When is that I hear you ask?

First Meeting of 2016
Thursday, 14th January 2016

Membership is due so don’t forget to bring along your envelope with your membership details on the outside and $15 on the inside - give our hard working treasurer a break; make sure you have the right money because he will not be giving change.

If you don’t have an envelope then you can print your own by >>downloading this<< and printing it yourself. The download is designed to be printed on a DL  Envelope (A4 folded three times).

The meeting will start at the usual time of 10.30am but there will be a lot of members wanting to pay their dues so allow a little extra time. Have a cup of tea, a biscuit and catch up with all your mates. Don't forget this is not an AGM, that will be held in July or August.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
