Greensborough Branch provides National Seniors Australia members in the municipalities of Banyule, Nillumbik & Whittlesea with an opportunity to get together not only to meet new people and enjoy social outings but also to have their say on important issues that affect over 50s.

The venue is Greensborough RSL 111 Main Street, meetings are normally held on the third Tuesday of each month, with every third meeting held at night to accommodate those members still in the work force. Day meetings commence at 10.00am, doors open at 9:30, and evening meetings at 6.50pm, doors open at 6:00.

Meetings are made up of two halves. We spend the first half of the program, going through the formalities and catching up on information from the President, Secretary and Welfare Officer. Matters concerning Policy issues are discussed and debated. The Activities Officer also presents his list of current and future activities. The aim of the meeting is to have all members involved in the decision making process, thus questions are welcome at any time.

The formal part of the meeting over we then break for a cuppa and catch up with other members before the second half gets underway.

The second session is dedicated to a guest speaker. The Committee endeavours to provide interesting speakers covering a wide range of topics.

We ask for $3.00 per person to cover meeting costs and door prizes drawn at the conclusion of the meeting.
