Upcoming occasional activities

 

Other regular activities

After Meeting Lunch	After our monthly meeting we gather for lunch, and a casual chat and general catch up with other members, usually at Asquith Golf Club.
Amblers	Occasionally we organise an easy walk on well marked fire tracks, suburban streets and interesting parks. Enjoy good company in a pleasant setting while getting a bit of exercise. Morning tea or light lunch often follows at a cafe in the area.
Cards	Attend our fortnightly cards evening or afternoon to play and learn a variety of card games, particularly Canasta and Count Down Whist, in a casual and relaxed setting.
Craft Exchange	An exchange of craft knowledge which may involve workshops, demonstrations and participation, as appropriate. We have many talented members with skills in many arts and crafts areas and believe others would be interested in learning more about these.
Dining Experience	Occasionally members enjoy the company of others while experiencing the many and varied local cafes and restaurants.
Morning Tea	We meet twice monthly at a suitable cafe in the area for a casual chat and catch up with other members.
Rummikub	Rummikub is similar to many card games, but uses tiles. The objective is to place all your tiles on the table by forming runs or sets of numbers of three or more. You can also add to existing runs and sets already placed on the table.
Showtime	Attend a variety of shows in local clubs and other venues.
Ten Pin Bowing	An occasional activity held at The Attic, Hornsby RSL Club, which includes an optional lunch at the Club beforehand.
Mini Golf	Another occasional activity when we get together for games of mini golf at the Brickpit golf center.
Trivia	Attend a monthly trivia night at a local club for a night of fun and friendly rivalry between our tables (as we don’t generally rank particularly highly on the overall quiz leader board, but we are improving).
