Season’s Greetings Sunbury Seniors and anyone reading this! As we wrap up 2025, there’s so much to celebrate together. This festive time is the perfect time to look back at the wonderful year we’ve shared and to look forward to an even brighter one ahead.

Our club has grown in numbers with plenty of new faces joining us for friendship and fun. We’ve also said fond farewells to a few of our older mates who’ve moved into aged care. Their warmth and spirit remain at the heart of everything we do and we cherish the memories they've left behind.

This year, carpet bowls and cards have kept us all entertained, drawing crowds and sparking friendly competition. We stepped things up by introducing trophies and medals, adding a bit of excitement and giving everyone something to aim for at each gathering!

The biggest news has to be the opening of our brand new Sunbury Seniors Hub. It’s a state-of-the-art space, designed especially for us and we’re absolutely stoked to have a place that fits our needs. With breakout areas galore, we’ll be bringing back beloved activities like snooker, darts, table tennis, jigsaw puzzles and board games …. so there’s always something for everyone.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Committee for their dedication all year round. None of this would be possible without our amazing volunteers, the ongoing support from Hume City Council, our Local and Federal MPs, Sunbury Radio 99.3FM, Sunbury Macedon Ranges Trophies and Engraving, Multicultural Resources Hub Inc. and the Star Weekly Sunbury and Macedon Ranges newspaper. We must not forget our generous financial backers this year including Jemena, Villawood Properties and Coles Sunbury, Your belief in our Club has made these milestones possible.

To all our members … thank you for your enthusiasm, kindness and community spirit. You’re what makes Sunbury Seniors such a welcoming place to be.

We’ll be taking a break for Christmas, but mark your diaries for Monday 19 January 2026. That’s our first day at the new Sunbury Seniors Hub and we can’t wait to kick off a fresh chapter together.

If you’re a senior in Sunbury looking for mateship, a laugh and a place to belong, come by for a no obligation cuppa and check out what we’re all about. Whether you’re into games or just want a yarn, there’s always room for one more. As our motto goes: Come as Strangers, Leave as Friends.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a bright and Happy New Year. See you at the Sunbury Seniors Hub in 2026!

Warm regards

Louise Zambello
