Activities & Events
Each month, a Club activity is organised which enables members to visit a place or places of interest, with the emphasis on learning, discovery and socialising.
Once a year a trip may be planned that involves several days away, outside of Melbourne or beyond Victoria.
Activities are planned by the Committee, and are advertised through the general meetings, the newsletter and this website. In all of the Club’s activities, we are mindful of cost. The committee works hard to arrange interesting events that are affordable for members.

Be prepared to be amazed by creative and inspiring sculptures set out in a beautiful bushland setting.
We will travel to the park by bus (kindly subsidised by our City of Port Phillip grant) and after the taking in
the collection we will have lunch on site at Harry's Cafe.
