Next Meeting–24th August 2017

Special Guest Speaker

The meeting have all the usual activities but we will also have the pleasure of Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery addressing our meeting. After his short talk there will be the opportunity for members to ask questions. With the council elections due on 9th September this will be an ideal time to find out about the Mayor’s plans for the future direction of Wollongong and, in particular, Dapto.

Bus Trip

The club’s next bus trip is to Meroogal House in Nowra on Monday, 4th September. There are only a few tickets left for this interesting visit so get in early to secure yours.

After the visit the bus will stop at a local club where members can enjoy a meal and good company.

Fathers’ Day Concert

Our wonderful concert group will be holding their Fathers’ Day Concert in the hall on the 11th September. The concert starts at 1.30pm but it is a good idea to arrive early to get the best seats in the house and make new friends. There will be all the usual fun: a singalong, comedy and lots of good singing. Don’t miss it – everybody is welcome; a gold coin donation at the door would be appreciated - you will receive a ticket in the exciting door prize draw held after the concert.

Fathers’ Day Lunch

At this meeting tickets for the Father’s Day lunch will go on sale. The lunch is on the 14th September in the Sinclair Room at Dapto Leagues Club and it is still only $18 for members.

Members will enjoy a delicious two course meal followed by the monster door prize draw – at the Birthday Lunch earlier this month everybody received a gift, so don’t miss out.

See you there…

There is always a lot happening at Dapto Seniors so don’t miss out; come along to the meeting and find out about all the activities happening at your local club. New members are always welcome. There is something going on every day of the week so don’t miss out. Looking forward to seeing you.

Wow! What fun we had...

The Club's 50th Anniversary Lunch

Dapto Seniors' 50^th Anniversary Birthday Lunch was a great success. Held at Dapto Leagues Club exactly 50 years to the day after the granting of the club's charter the lunch was organised, as always, by our Assistant Secretary who ensured that the event ran smoothly. Not only that... the food was excellent and the raffle was magnificent. Over 100 members attended.

His Worship, the Lord Mayor of Wollongong, Gordon Bradbery joined the members and entertained us with a most amusing speech about some of the pitfalls of being a minister and a politician. Mr Bradbery earlier spent some considerable time mingling with members.

One member was awarded branch life membership for her tireless service to the club over more than 20 years. Such an active member is an inspiration to us all and, after the short presentation ceremony, she was asked to cut the beautiful birthday cake.

The birthday lunch turned out to be a very fitting occasion to celebrate our 50th Anniversary, something the committee hopes members will remember for some time to come.

Every member who attended this very special lunch received a gold envelope containing souvenirs of the event including a commemorative pen and a copy of the original charter.
