Bowls: Our indoor bowls groups play twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday from 9.00am to about 3.00pm, in our well set up indoor bowls area. If you have not played before, there will be a bowler only too happy to coach you, and you will be playing in no time. Just make sure you are on time – 9.00am. The day consists of several games then a lunch break – the canteen is open for lunch. Then back to bowls again. These groups often have outings together, and always look after each other.

Walkers Group:
The walkers are a fun group who meet every Monday. Our Convenor, Jenny, works hard to pick out lovely walks, some of which are so loved that they are done often. We have the added advantage of having our own Bus Drivers take the group to the different destinations, and to pick them up at certain spots along the walk. Due to COVID restrictions, numbers on buses are limited and you must wear a mask when on the bus.
Each member of the group is encouraged to do the full walk, and is safely delivered back to the club about 3.30pm. Hats and water are a must and, of course, suitable footwear. Please be at the Centre at least 15 minutes before the walk commences at 1.00pm. Cost is $4.00, plus cost of bus trip.
Convenor: Jenny
Yoga is held in the Auditorium each Monday and Thursday. Due to COVID restrictions, class numbers are limited to 30 people per session. Monday sessions are 9.30am to 10.30am and 11.00am to 12 midday, and Thursday class is 9.50am to 10.50am. Classes are $5.00.
We endeavour to offer an intermediate-level class which caters to the wide “age and skill” range of our members. Yoga involves multiple stretching and strengthening poses from various starting positions. It also includes breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation techniques. All of the postures can be modified for beginners or intensified for more advanced students. Our classes are carried out in a peaceful, relaxed manner with students encouraged to respect “noble silence”. Lighting is kept low, soft music is played and just the teachers (micro-phoned) voice is heard. Bring your own yoga mat and come along and enjoy.
Convenor: Lyn
