LIFE ACTIVITIES CLUB WHITEHORSE Inc.

What are the activity groups?
Currently there are over 40 different activities ranging from the very active to the relative passive. Clicking on the following category headings will take you to information on the activities.
DANCING / CARDS / FITNESS / INDOOR ACTIVITIES / INDOOR SPORTS / MUSIC / OUT & ABOUT / OUTOOR SPORTS / WALKING
Groups meet on various days and times as indicated. All provide companionship, mental and/or physical stimulation, education and/or widening of horizons, at a very low financial cost.
Activity groups elect their own leaders and determine their own program of events and levy a small charge to cover their running costs.
Entry to the activity groups
The activity groups fall broadly into two categories.
- Restricted groups have a restriction on the number of members who can participate due to either the type of activity, the equipment available, or the space limitations of the meeting place.
- Open groups have none of the above constraints and any Life Activities Club Whitehorse member is always welcome.
Contacting Groups
