Membership

 

Membership as a whole is a concern. This is not a problem unique to Dapto Seniors, CPSA membership as a whole is falling, people do not seem to join groups in general, everything happens on line.

In fact at the last branch meeting this was discussed in some detail, as the meeting was advised we used to advertise before every meeting on the ABC, VoxFM, one of the TV channels (7 or 9 can't remember which one), The Advertiser, Senior News as well as having a stall at various public activities advertising ourselves. We never received a single member from any of these sources even though this was done for many years. 

We still have our web page which does occasionally attract emails, we are listed with the council, advertise our presence on their TV screens and our brochure is readily available at the Ribbonwood Centre.

I believe the only way to attract new members is word of mouth, speaking to people you know to attract new members recommending branch activities to them.  If you have any new ideas be sure to let us know.

Annual General Meeting

CPSA Dapto Seniors will hold its AGM on 27th August 2026 at 10.30am. All positions will be declared vacant and a new committee for the next 12 months will be elected.

Head Office News - January 2026

In January the branch received a copy of Head Office News, the first for a considerable time.

In days past we used to receive copies of Head Office news on a regular basis and they were posted on our notice board outside the hall. Unfortunately our noticeboard was replaced by the large council TV screen and for some reason the Head Office News' ceased to circulate. 

However the revival of Head Office News aroused much interest and copies have been circulated to the various weekly groups for all to read.

Head office has given permission to post a copy on our web site so for those who haven't read a copy here it is:

 Head Office News January 2026

On Page 5 of the Head Office News are the motions considered at annual conference. Dapto Branch proposed  Motions 2, 20 and 26. The first two passed the final one was defeated. 

Membership Fees

Just a reminder for all members.  Dapto Branch membership runs from January to December so all membership fees are due now. Please ensure your fees are paid.

Thank you to all the members who have already renewed their subscription (which is most of you)
