About our branch


The aim of the Branch is to provide a contact point for Seniors to get together and engage in and promote social activities as well as be entertained and informed by a variety of guest speakers during the meetings. Currently we have 147 members.

Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month with the exception of December and January. Arriving at 10am to register and partake of tea or coffee, then the meeting starts at 10.30am and usually continues to about 12.15 pm, when those who wish can attend lunch at the club.

The meetings are held in Port Macquarie Golf Club, 698 Ocean Drive, Port Macquarie.
