Looking for something to do this Friday? Come and move, meet some people and have a coffee with us.

That's the plan for the Week of Ageing Well at Whyalla Recreation Centre, run with Whyalla City Council for older members of the community. You don't need to be a member to come along.

Start with The Big Aqua on Friday 2 October with aqua aerobics in the main pool, then morning tea together.

Then join us Wednesday 7 October for Come and Try Chair Yo-lates or Come and Try Social Pickleball. No experience needed, and enjoy free Eyre Roasted coffee at both ☕
