Bus Trips

Our members have trod upon the hallowed turf of the SCG, gazed through the historic telescope at the Sydney Observatory, wondered at the splendor of the Egyptian Room, learned about the horrors revealed in the Jewish Museum, seen many beautiful Georgian houses that are integral to the history of Australia and even ridden on old trams. 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

We must not forget the ever popular Dapto Seniors Concert Group which performs three times a year to a packed houses. The group is always looking for new performers, singers and back stage helpers. If you have a yen to perform then why not join? The group rehearses every Monday at 12.30pm; why not pop along and find ourt more about it.
