City Library hosting a Clubs Day event for over 60's
The City Library is hosting an event this week
(Thursday 26 July 2 – 4pm) catering for those aged over
60. The objective is to provide the community with direct
contact with some of the hundreds of clubs and groups in the
city, and to meet new people, learn new skills and be
entertained.
The event will have groups that focus on
social connection and lifelong curiosity. Most participating
clubs and groups are open to all ages and all are
'attractive' to 60+ year olds.
Sixty clubs and groups are
participating and cover arts and crafts, hobbies, cultural,
continuing education, home and garden, performing arts,
technology and transport, and service.
Future clubs days
are planned: November 2018: "Outdoors, Sport & Wellness"
Clubs Day for 60+ February 2019: "Volunteering
opportunities for
60+"
