Some of the group enjoying the sunshine as they watched the outdoor events.

News from the Front.

A New Life Member

Jim was the club's well respected Treasurer for ten years and still serves on the committee as a trustee. A well deserved award.

Walking Group

On Friday 1^st November members of the walking group caught the train to Sydney to visit "Sculpture by the Sea" at Bondi. After alighting from the train at Martin Place the group caught a bus all the way to Bondi Beach where they spent some time exploring all the wonderful sculptures.

Having seen all the exhibits at Bondi and Tamarama the group walked to Bronte where they had lunch in the park before catching a bus to Central Station and the trip home. The weather was perfect so it was a fascinating day out.

The walking group needs a new leader, please volunteer to keep this popular group going.

November Bus Trip

On the Monday following the walking group's trip to Bondi the club's monthly bus trip visited Chinoiserie Gardens near Mittagong. What a wonderful garden it proved to be, as you can gather from their name they had an evident Chinese influence.

Home Security Talk

Our thanks to Senior Constable Ben Walsh who delivered a very interesting talk on home security during our regular meeting last Thursday.

Walking Group

The Seniors Week walk across the Seacliff Bridge was a great success with three people joining the usual participants on what turned out to be a beautiful day. At the conclusion of the walk most of the walkers enjoyed a coffee or lunch at the Scarborough Hotel before catching the train home.

Bus Trip

Just a reminder that there is no bus trip in April due to the Easter Monday holiday falling on our bus day.

The May bus trip is to the Lancer Barracks in Parramatta and tickets will be on sale from this meeting. It should be an interesting visit.

ANZAC Day

Another reminder than there will be NO meeting on the 25th April. There will only be one meeting April on the 11^th April the following meeting will be on the 9^th May.

How Stupid! How Thoughtless!

Unbelievable!

You would not credit that anybody could be so thoughtless and stupid. Walking through Dapto near the Centrelink office I could not believe that the footpath was completely blocked by this van. What made it worse was that it was there for hours!

This was between the bus stop and Centrelink in Baan Baan St. The driver saw people struggling to get between the back of the van and the tree indeed, as I walked along, I saw a lady in a wheel chair having to push through the branches and foliage with great difficulty to get past.

The vehicle could have been moved a couple of feet forward to make a passage without causing any problems in the car park but that appeared too complicated for this mob.

Technology on the move eh? Nobody else could.

Update for Seniors' Week 2013

The week so far...

Wow! what a week so far and it is only Tuesday.

About twenty club members caught the 7.55am train to Sydney (no buses this year?) for the Premier's Gala Concert at the Entertainment Centre.

This year the theme was Live from Studio A

We had pretty good seats.

The lovely Wendy Mathews was a hit, singing some songs of hers from the 1990s

 

Carpet Bowls

The bowls group had a visit from an SBS film crew for a comedy show to be broadcast in September. Talk about fun, they had a lot!

Wally becomes a TV Star.

 

Don't Forget

Wednesday 9.30am - Whist in the laurel Room.

Friday 8.00am - Walking Group; catch the 8.14am train (change at Wollongong) for the Seacliff Bridge Walk.

What fun! Don't miss out.

Seniors' Week 2013

Club Activities

All club activities will continue as usual (see our Club Activities tab above) however we have a few activities open to all as part of Wollongong's Seniors' Week program.

Carpet Bowls

On Tuesday Carpet Bowls is available to those who would like to try this fun indoor game. Just come along any time after 8am to arrange a game or find out about the group.

Go straight into Heininger Hall and talk to Brian who organises the group.

Shhhh! don't tell anybody but the whisper is that a SBS film crew will be there to record proceedings but remember that is just between you and me.

Cards

This is a very social group of card players. They meet every Wednesday in the Laurel Room, the usual game is whist but I suspect any game is welcome.

The play starts at 9.30am and continues until 2.30pm. The players bring their own lunch to have together and tea/coffee is always available.

Walking Group

This group meets fortnightly and walks many and various routes (see previous blogs). For Seniors' Week this year they are walking from Coalcliff Station to Scarborough over the fantastic Seacliff Bridge.

If you wish you can bring your own morning tea or can adjourn to the Scarborough Hotel at the conclusion of the walk. On previous occasions some group members have returned to Wollongong for shopping, because it is a local walk the rest of the day is yours.

Good walking shoes, a hat and drink are advised. The walk is fairly flat but there are some stairs and modest hills on the way.

The group will meet in the Dapto Railway Station waiting room at about 7.50.8am to catch the 8.15am train. If you are late we are usually in the second carriage but I am sure at Coalcliff Station it will be obvious who the group is.

Everybody is invited to join all our activities and find out more about the biggest and best seniors' group in the Illawarra.

If you need more details about any of these activities please phone 043 861 2015 or email daptoseniors@gmail.com.

The Next Walk - 8th March 2013

Neutral Bay to Cremorne Reserve

The group will catch the Neutral Bay ferry and walk from the wharf past May Gibbs' house where, if the group agrees we will pay a visit (entry $5.50). Following this the group will walk through Cremorne Reserve to either Cremorne Point or Old Cremorne wharf there to catch a ferry back to Circular Quay for lunch.

View Neutral Bay to Old Cremorne in a larger map

As usual the group will meet in the waiting room at Dapto Station at about 7.40am to catch the 7.55am Sydney train. If you are late look in the second carriage. See you there?

Bus Trips

The next bus trip is to Parklea and Flemington markets on Sunday 3^rd March. There are a few seats left so get to the meeting early before they are all snapped up. A ticket is only $10pp.

The February bus trip to Cobbitty Winery and The Campbelltown Art Centre was a great success with some members taking part in a filmed Art Event while others contented themselves with admiring the works on display and walking round the Japanese Garden and outdoor sculpture exhibition, it was great fun. Lunch was taken next door at the Campbelltown Catholic Club - a great favourite with the bus trip participants.

Walking Group

Due to the inclement weather the walk to Berry Island was abandoned and the walking group instead visited the Museum of Sydney which had a couple of special exhibitions; one about the artist Margaret Olley and the other the old Sydney Stadium.

The visit commenced with a terrific half hour guided tour of the Museum by an enthusiastic member of the staff after which we were able to browse at our own pace. Even at lunch time when the group left they had not seen everything so members will be going back individually to see the rest of what is a fascinating museum - well worth a visit.

Stay Smart On Line

Look for the Alert Service Link. Definitely worth a visit.

The Next Walk - 22nd February 2013

Visit Berry Island Reserve

A walk we have not done before! We attempted it last year but it was after heavy rain and the path was far too waterlogged to be safely attempted. If it is too wet on the day then we will try another walk instead.

The total distance of this walk is about 3km and undoubtedly involves a hill from the waterfront to Waverton Station but we will take that part very easy.

View Wollstonecraft to Waverton in a larger map

As usual the group will meet in the Dapto Railway Station waiting room at about 7.40am to catch the 7.55am Sydney train. If you are late we will be in the second carriage. Please join us, you will be made very welcome.

The Next Walk - 8th Feb 2013

Martin Place to NSW Art Gallery

The next walk is in Sydney, the group will catch the train to Martin Place Railway Station and walk down to Circular Quay and the Opera House.

The group will continue around the harbour on the edge of the Botanic Garden to Mrs Macquaries Chair then continue on with views of the Garden Island navy base across the water until the Art Gallery of NSW. Hopefully everybody will make a short visit to the Art Gallery before having their own lunch in The Domain.

After lunch by cutting through the Sydney Eye Hospital it is only a short distance to Martin Place Railway Station and the train home.

As usual the group will meet in the waiting room at Dapto Station at about 7.40am to catch the 7.55am Sydney train. If you are late look in the second carriage. See you there?

 

View Mrs Macquaries Chair and Domain Walk in a larger map

Note: this map still shows lunch at Circular Quay, this is incorrect, as stated above we are taking a packed lunch to have in the Domain but a stop for coffee will be made probably in Martin Place or Circular Quay.

Walking Group - 16th November 2012

Bundeena to Jibbon Head

This walk takes the group along the shoreline of Port Hacking. Whether we actually get to Jibbon Head remains to be seen as we will be walking on sand some of the time.

The group will change trains at Sutherland to catch the first available train to Cronulla where we will decide whether to take morning tea at the cafe on the wharf or whether we will wait until we arrive in Bundeena. The ferry leaves approximately every hour and costs about $3 concession each way.

Walkers can bring a picnic if they wish or they can eat at the Bundeena RSL.
