What a year we have had!
Bus trips, lunches, picnics, social days out and all the wonderful things
that make Dapto Seniors the fun club it is. We look forward to seeing you all
next year on the
14th January 2016 when we can start to do it
all again.
Bus Trips
Our last trip for 2015 was a cruise on Port Hacking. After a worrying start
when the council supplied us with the wrong bus it all turned out very well and
members had a lovely day exploring the river aboard a fantastic old ferry
Tom Thumb III, it was a day spent in glorious sunshine.
Afterwards the group retired to
Cronulla RSL for lunch, a chat and
the chance to admire the views of Cronulla Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
The bus trips are held every month and visit a wide variety of places of
interest. This year members went on visits to
Wivenhoe House, the
Careflight Helicopter base, the fascinating
Egyptian Room, the
Norman Lindsay Gallery and many more terrific places. The cost is
usually $12 plus the cost of entry if any (and usually we get a group discount)
so these trips are within anyone’s means, where ever possible we get a guided
tour of the establishment we visit. As well as being interesting the trip is a
social occasion with stops for morning tea and a lunch so there is plenty of
time to sit and chat with your fellow members.
Our thanks to all the volunteer drivers who make the day so enjoyable.
Concerts
The Concert Group performed three concerts during the year. All of them were
well received; the Christmas concert provided an exciting seasonal finale to the
year.
There was some wonderful singing by the choir interspersed with comedy and
solo acts of an amazingly high standard. The audience cheered and cheered and
when it was their turn to join in with the singalong they did so with great
enthusiasm. The light snack afterwards and the many door prizes made the event
one to remember and ensured everyone present looked forward to the next.
The group is always on the look out for new talent so you are most welcome to
join, fun is always high on the agenda - don’t be shy, come along and take part;
rehearsals are every Monday afternoon (once the club’s year starts).
Activities
Apart from these activities Dapto Seniors has something going on every day of
the week, Whether it is
carpet bowls, cards, exercises, computer tuition,
theatre visits or
craft there is something that will suit you
(click on the
CLUB ACTIVITIES tab at the top of the page to
find out more). We also take part in various publicity events arranged by local
community groups and/or Wollongong Council.
Just around the corner - 2016
Wow! another year is almost here; where does the time go?
