About our branch

The Branch has its origins in the Self-Funded Retiree Association which later became the National Seniors Association.
We provide a friendly atmosphere for seniors at our monthly meetings.
We invite informative Speakers on topics of interest to Seniors. We also provide tea and time for friendly socialising.
Our Branch has a program of inexpensive outings during the year
The cost per month is $5.00 which also gives you a free ticket in a monthly raffle.
