Jigsaw Puzzles
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!
Why not try a game of darts?
If you’re up for a bit of cheeky fun and want to test your aim, darts is the way to 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!

Guest speaker February - Wills and Powers of Attorney
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!
Come join us celebrate Ray's 90th Birthday!!!
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!

Celebrating Sunbury Neighbour Day
Sunbury Neighbour Day is officially taking place on Sunday 29 March 2026, but given Sunbury Seniors is not open on a Sunday, we’re planning to recognise this day on Monday 30 March 2026.

Getting to know your senior neighbors not only helps build community, it makes life richer, easier, and safer for everyone. They can offer support, provide valuable insights about the neighbourhood, keep a watchful eye on your property, assist with taking-in parcels and even pet-sit while you're away!
With this in mind Sunbury Seniors is holding a pizza lunch for seniors [over 55] on Monday 30 March. Yep, there’ll be chips and a healthy option of a platter of fruit. It’s an opportunity to check us out and if you have a senior neighbour, feel free to bring them along. Cost will be $3 per head.
For catering purposes, non-members please RSVP to contactus@sunburyseniors.com.au by Friday 27 March.
