SEYMOUR WIND FARM

Come and meet the Fera team at the community consultation living. A space to engage with relaxing activities or hobbies. Other suggestions we’ve received are all abilities yoga, on chairs or mats, practicing relaxation techniques, art and cooking as well as accessing the local community together.

In conjunction with the social activities, we will also run information sessions with focus on topics such as: ‘How to navigate the NDIS scheme’, ‘how to access advocacy', ‘how to understand your plan’, ‘how to find your support and problem solve’. A place to learn about health and safety, healthy eating, and wellbeing.

“Nagambie is such a wonderful place” NLCH Coordinator Anna Close says, and this new, 'Nagambie Connections and Networking group', will be an amazing addition, not just for people living in our town, but for the entire region.”

The Line Dancers are back with their usual enthusiasm, and have been enjoying the twice weekly routine. New members and those wishing to give Line Dancing a go are always welcomed.

A BBQ will be held at Goulburn Weir on Monday 27th February at 4pm. Meat will be supplied by the club and bring your own salad, plates, chairs, drinks etc. Hopefully the weather will be suitable, we will advise if this is not the case or if we have to postpone. Hope you can come, bring along friends and family, but let me know so we can cater for food.

We are seeking numbers and interest for our Tram boat excursion on Tuesday 28th March. If you are unaware of this trip on the ferry across to Williamstown, have a look at their website, it is a really enjoyable trip. We need to have 50 as a minimum. Again asking for numbers, so either contact me or ask those who are regular at the hall to put your name down. We will be catching a bus to Docklands, morning tea and a boxed fish and chip lunch are provided. Drinks available on the boat. Cost will be $60. Let me know by phone or email (see below for details)

Movie Day is also up and running, with 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, our next movie will be on Tuesday 28th February we are showing “The Color Purple”, come along at 1pm and enjoy the interval snacks and ice creams. For March14th we have “The Man from Snowy River”, followed by “The Man from Snowy River 11” on March 28th.

We are looking for volunteers to help on the day of the NOW Festival, 25th February. The Seniors will be running the Costa Canoe Challenge again (12-1.30pm). We had a very efficient team help out last year, but if anyone is interested in being a part of the fun, or just have a few hours spare that could go in the Volunteer Pool for the NOW Festival, they will be made welcome.

We have reached out this year to the Grey Nomads, and have offered them accommodation at the recreation reserve for caravans etc. They do a great job of volunteering their time in return for the pleasure of staying in Nagambie for a few nights (and perhaps a free T-shirt and a BBQ!!). If you can help please contact me on 0419 567 580 or respond to any of the Facebook posts asking for volunteers through the NOW Festival or Go Nagambie.

Our hall has been upgraded with energy efficient lighting, and the old air-conditioning ducting has been removed, really opening up the space. The reverse cycle air-conditioning was made possible by the Shire of Strathbogie Grant, and a generous payment from the RSL who share our facilities. We are already appreciating the cool environment within the hall, and the winter comfort will be assured as well.

We will also be holding the Bunnings BBQ at Seymour on Saturday 11th March, if you would like to do a shift, it would be great.

Our next newsletter will be sent after our committee meeting on Friday 3rd March at 1pm which will include updates from the meeting.

Sometimes contacting all members about events is difficult as some do not read the newsletter or come to the Hall to fill out our lists for those wishing to attend events. Please give me your thoughts of how best to communicate, especially with those without email or social media on their phones.

Happy to email any interested people who would like to receive the newsletter monthly. Just email nagambieseniors@gmail.com to go on the list. Or phone Jill on 0419 567 580

We also wish to thank Go Nagambie for including our Club details on their website, check it out. https://www.gonagambie.com.au/live/communitygroups-and-clubs/nagambie-seniors
