Watsonia 50s Plus Club Inc BBQ

Approximately 80 members had a delightful time at our Christmas BBQ event on Thursday 14th December 2023.  Originally planned for the park, we had to move indoors due to the unfavorable weather conditions.  Inside the hall, round tables were arranged for everyone's comfort.  While John and David expertly grilled the sausages, our remarkable team of women took care of crafting a scrumptious salad for lunch, followed by a delightful serving of ice cream and a homemade fruit salad.

This gathering marked a delightful way to conclude the year for our club.

The club will be re-opening early next year on Wednesday 24th January 2024 for Scrabble from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm, on Thursday 25th January Cards will commence at noon, followed by Bowls and Table Tennis at 1.00 pm. The exercise activities start on Thursday 1st February 2024 at 9.00 am for Tai Chi, 10.00 a.m. for Aerobics, and 10.45 am for Gentle Aerobics. The Monday activities commence on 5th February 2024, Tai Chi at 9.00 and Tai Chi Qigong at 10.00 am.

On behalf of the committee, I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a safe New Year.
