Activities that occur each month.

On the first Wednesday of the month we have a short business  meeting followed by morning tea and a chance to socialise.  This is usually followed by a guest speaker, or entertainment of different sorts.  After the meeting lunch is organised at a local hotel which may change regularly for variety.  All are welcome. In May we have a birthday party to celebrate the club’s birthday and in September we have a friendship day.  This year,2023, is a special year as we celebrate 30 years of the club.

On the second Wednesday members meet for a short walk followed by coffee at a local cafe. Coffee is very imortant and if the walk is not attended members join us for coffee.  We visit interesting areas in the North Eastern suburbs.  The group is called The D'Erlanger  Dawdlers and is more social than active walking.  Again all are welcome.,Our third monthly activity, on the third Wednesday in the month, is an outing to a venue of general interest. which again is followed by lunch at a nearby hotel, or restaurant.  We may venture further on a bus trip or shared cars excurion.  Always an interesting day.
