As part of the City of Casey’s Aging Positively Festival during October, Casey’s U3A showcased a range of activities able to be enjoyed by senior residents over the weekend.
The event aimed to demonstrate what activities and hobbies U3A Casey offers their seniors, with more than 600 members already participating.
Throughout the day, the event saw more than 200 participants taking part in a wide selection of nearly 75 recreational hobbies, among them include dancing, pickleball and Zumba and mindful hobbies like crosswords and art crafts.
President of Casey’s U3A, Christine Trimnell , says that there’s something for everyone.
Honing in on different mental and physical skills, Rosalee and Kanthi took part in the technical and strategic game of chess.
While other participants joined in a class of tai chi and activated the controlled bodily movements needed for the sport.
Residents, Mr and Mrs Labberton even took to the floor, showcasing their brilliant ballroom dancing skills.
Also in attendance was Casey Mayor Stefan Koomen, who presented the award for U3A’s Tutor Recognition to Noel Barlow for his contribution to the facility over the last 20 years.
Barlow has shared his expertise and knowledge of tech and genealogy to other members over the years.
