The details of when and where the groups meet are in the monthly Newsletter. This is emailed to members prior to each General Meeting and available in the Members page.
BOOK GROUP
The group meets in an afternoon, usually on the second Wednesday of the month, at a member's home with the aim of sharing a love of literature and books you have read or are reading.
If you wish to share any hard copy books, bring them to lend to members. If reading on electronic devices just share your enjoyment of the book.

BOWLS

If you are not coming for lunch but would like to bowl please phone or email by 9:00am on Thursday morning so your name can be included.. See the latest Newsletter from the Members page for contact details
Even if you haven't bowled before and would like to join us, come along to lunch and talk to our members about getting started.
BUSHWALKING
Our bushwalking group meets once a month to make the most of our local but spectacular countryside.
We endeavour to walk through different types of forest and vegetation and occasionally glimpse wildlife in its natural habitat. Most bushwalks also offer wonderful scenic views and rock formations unique to the Blue Mountains area. The walks are all on-track and every effort is made to minimise the number of ascents and descents.
COFFEE CLUB
The group is very informal and meets once a month at 10am at a variety of cafes around the local area for a coffee and a chat.

CURRENT AFFAIRS

TRAVELLERS TALES
The format of Travellers Tales is a presentation of a trip by a member which can be from Australia or to anywhere in the World. Our members have travelled far and wide from well travelled to unusual destinations. It gives the opportunity for participants to share experiences and suggest useful hints over morning tea..
