Sorry folks, we’re closed today as it’s a public holiday.

Our first second outing for the year commencing from February through to November.

This month we’ll be visiting Werribee Open Range Zoo, an African-themed zoo located in Werribee South. It is known for its open-range setting and a free guided safari bus tour where you can see animals like rhinos, giraffes and zebras roaming the savannah.

Details regarding start and finish times, cost and lunch details to be advised.

Marilyn Bray, President of Sunbury Family History & Heritage Society will be presenting a special PowerPoint session for our club members titled “Lost & Found: Celebrating the Things We Once Cherished”.

Join us for an engaging half an hour where Marilyn will share stories, photos and insights about the items that once meant so much to us. Don’t miss this chance to reminisce and connect with fellow members!

One of our long term members, Ray, will be celebrating his 90th birthday, marking an impressive milestone that deserves a proper knees-up.

Ray is about to join the Naughty Nineties Club and we reckon he’ll fit right in with his cheeky sense of humour and love of a good yarn.

We’re fond of Ray, not just for his friendly nature, but for his generosity and the way he always has time for a chat.

His passion is collecting clocks and Ray knows so much about clocks that he’s more than happy to fix anyone’s clock that’s not working. Just pay him in chocolates and he’s happy. You’ll often find him sharing stories about his favourite timepieces and passing on tips to anyone interested.

Given 90 is a milestone, come and join us celebrate Ray’s birthday and tuck into some homemade cake at 1pm. And just in case you’re wondering, Ray still plays carpet bowls twice a week. Bowling will take place after we’ve sung Happy Birthday.

We hope to see plenty of familiar faces there to help Ray ring in his big day in style!

Gone are the days when libraries were just hushed halls and towering shelves of books! These days, Hume Sunbury Library is buzzing with life, offering everything from craft and conversation to basic computer workshops for seniors, and best of all? Most activities won’t cost you a cent!

We’re excited to welcome Penny from our local Library, who’ll share all the goss about the What’s On program. Whether you’re keen to try your hand at chess or Mahjong or just fancy a chat over a cuppa, there’s something for everyone.

Ever thought sorting out your will or power of attorney was just for the oldies or for those with a mansion and a pet goldfish to leave behind? Think again! Our February guest speaker is Vanessa Bugeja from Nicholas James Lawyers in Sunbury. Her role in all of this is to clear things up and make the whole business a bit less daunting … and, dare we say, even a touch interesting.

Having a will isn’t just about who gets your footy cards or your prized garden gnome collection. It’s about making sure your wishes are heard and your loved ones aren’t left scratching their heads. And as for powers of attorney, they’re not just legal jargon. They’re about making sure someone you trust has your back if you can’t make decisions yourself. There are a few types of power of attorneys out there, so Vanessa will be breaking down which is which (without the legal mumbo jumbo).

So, come along for a natter, a laugh and some genuinely handy info. You’ll walk away with your questions answered and maybe a few myths busted. No legal degree required, just an open mind and maybe a cuppa in hand!

Our first monthly outing for the year! The Club organises a bus trip for its members on the first Wednesday of each month commencing from February through to November.

This month we’ll be visiting the Scienceworks [Museums Victoria]. Scienceworks makes science an adventure! Scienceworks is also home to the Melbourne Planetarium and the historic Pumping Station.

Bus leaves from Sunbury Community Centre, 531 Elizabeth Street, Sunbury at 9.30am sharp. Lunch will be a buffet all you can eat at Braybrook Hotel, Braybrook. Return to Sunbury around 3pm.

Sorry folks, we’re closed today as it’s a public holiday.

There’s something truly Aussie about a good old sausage sizzle! It’s more than just snags on bread. It’s a chance to catch up with mates, meet new faces and share a laugh over lunch fresh off the barbie. Whether you’re keen for a good feed or just love the smoky aroma wafting through the air, a sausage sizzle is the perfect excuse to come together, relax and enjoy the simple things in life. Plus, you can’t beat the combo of sauce, onions and a smile—all members welcome, no fancy skills required!

Non-members are welcome, but so we can cater sufficiently, please RSVP by email via the Contact Us link appearing on this website by Wednesday 21 January 2026.

If you’re looking for a bit of friendly competition, a few laughs and a way to keep active, carpet bowls is just the ticket! Join us every Monday and Friday arvo from 1pm to 2.30pm for a relaxed roll on the mats. No experience needed, just your best attitude and a sense of humour.

We take our bowls seriously but never ourselves, so you’re sure to have a ripper time with a welcoming group who are always keen to share their top bowling tips. Not only is it loads of fun, but it’s also great for staying fit and keeping those coordination skills sharp. Pop in, have a go and see why carpet bowls is a favourite way to spend the arvo!

Fancy a bit of friendly competition and a laugh? Our brand-new table tennis setup is ready for action, and we've already got a few keen players lined up for a hit! Whether you're a seasoned ace or just keen to have a crack, there’s always room at the table.

Table tennis is top-notch for keeping your reflexes sharp and your mind quick. It’s great exercise, brings people together and let's face it …. nothing beats the thrill of a cheeky backhand or a sneaky spin.

So why not give it a go? Swing by for a hit, bring a friend or just come for the banter. The only thing you need is a good attitude and maybe a bit of wrist action!

Pool isn’t just about potting ball. It’s a brilliant way to have a yarn, sharpen your focus and flex those strategic muscles!

Whether you’re lining up a tricky shot or just having a laugh after a miss, it’s all good fun and friendly competition. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to spend a few hours out of the house with mates in a relaxed, welcoming space.

So come on down and grab a cue, chalk up and join in. No experience needed, just a willingness to give it a go and enjoy yourself!

Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a muso? Whether you tinkle the ivories, strum a guitar, fiddle with a violin or belt out a tune on the banjo, we’d love to hear from you! Our club already boasts a piano and a couple of enthusiastic banjo players, but we’re keen to add more talent to the mix … no matter your instrument or level of experience.

The big plan? We’re aiming to hold a musical soiree mid-year at the Sunbury Seniors Hub. It’s your chance to dust off your instrument, share a tune and enjoy a relaxed arvo with fellow music lovers. Whether you’re keen to perform or just want to be part of the fun, there’s a spot waiting for you.

If you’re interested, swing by and have a chat with Louise at the Sunbury Seniors Hub. She’s the go-to for all things music and will help you get involved. No pressure, no auditions … just good vibes and a bit of a laugh.

So, come along, bring your instrument (or just your enthusiasm) and let’s make some musical magic together. Who knows, you might even find your new jam buddy or discover a hidden talent. See you there!

If you’re up for a bit of cheeky fun and want to test your aim, darts is the way to go! Swing by every Monday and Friday for a friendly session where laughs are guaranteed and the only thing sharper than your dart might be your wit. No need to be a pro … just bring your best banter and a willingness to have a go.

It’s a cracking way to make new mates, get some gentle exercise and enjoy good company. Whether you’re in it for the glory, the giggles or just to meet a few locals, darts is all about camaraderie and good times. Don’t be shy! Join us and find out why darts is a top pick at Sunbury Seniors!

Join our Texas Hold'em poker group every Monday and Friday from 10am to 12.30pm. Whether you’re a seasoned player or have never played a hand, everyone’s welcome. If you’re new, we’ll happily teach you the ropes on Mondays. Friday is our competition day. No need to stress about high stakes; our winner takes home chocolates, so it’s all in good fun!

We’re a friendly, light-hearted bunch who play for the enjoyment, the challenge and a good yarn. It’s not just about skill or winning. It’s a great way to exercise your mind and have a laugh with mates. Come along for the cards, stay for the banter!

Every Monday from 10am to 12.30pm. Bring your knitting, crochet or whatever portable craft you fancy and meet a great group of women.

We have free wool, patterns and knitting needles that have been donated by the local community to get you started.

Knit for charity, make something for a grandchild or yourself … whatever.

Free tea and coffee available with plenty of socialising!

Think jigsaw puzzles are just for kids? Think again! There’s a fair bit of magic in piecing together a tricky puzzle, no matter your age. Not only are they brilliant for keeping the mind sharp and the hands busy, but jigsaw puzzles are also a top way to unwind and have a chinwag with mates. You’ll give your memory and coordination a workout and there’s nothing like the quiet satisfaction when that last piece clicks into place. So why not grab a cuppa, gather around the table and see what all the fuss is about?

Puzzles are not just child’s play, but a cracking good time for everyone!
