    Pickleball at PCYC

    Registration for this event opens on 8 July 2025

    Presenter:  Wendy Taylor

    Pickleball is a mix of tennis, table tennis and badminton.  Pickleball is fun, social and friendly.  It is played with a paddle and using a perforated plastic ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court.

    By playing pickleball, seniors can improve their balance and coordination, reducing their risk of falls and injuries.  Pickleball can be mentally stimulating because it requires focus, strategy and quick decision making.

    To play pickleball at PCYC, you will need to be a member of the club.  Membership for U3A pickleball players is free.  However, you will be asked to complete a manual membership form available at the front desk of the PCYC (not online) and will then receive a PCYC tag to be used for admission to the club.

    There is a weekly court fee of $8.50.

    Please text 0408 565 475 to cancel or apologise.

    Social Five Hundred Cards

    Registration for this event opens on 8 July 2025

    Presenter: Jenny O'Brien

    This course will provide an opportunity for all interested members to meet socially each week to play Five Hundred. We enjoy the game of 500 cards in groups of 4.

    Simply put, it is fun. Basic knowledge of card games would be beneficial, but guidance will be provided for members wishing to learn to play Five Hundred. By far the best way to learn or expand your knowledge is to play and be guided by others.

    Table Tennis

    Registration for this event opens on 8 July 2025

    Presenter:  Ann Brewster

    Table Tennis is a sociable, fun sport for two or four players. Great for hand-eye coordination and flexibility. This is especially important as we age because tasks such as writing and driving a car are dependent on coordination and flexibility! The activity increases heart rate and contributes to good blood circulation. The game is easy to learn; however, players need to be confident of their mobility. All equipment is supplied, and the venue is air conditioned. Comfortable clothing and supportive footwear to be worn. Bring a water bottle.

    Free registration and a gold coin is required to attend.

    Qigong at PCYC

    Registration for this event opens on 8 July 2025

    Presenter: Sandra Chapman

    Qigong (pronounced Chi Gong) is an ancient Chinese medicine practice designed to support your body's ability to maintain good health. "Qi" = energy/breath/life force; "Gong" = work. Qigong combines intentional movement with deep breathing, resulting in a calmness that comes from a focussed mind and relaxed body as we work through the movements. As we do move our body, we encourage a constant flow of Qi (energy) and blood circulation through the joints, muscles and everything in between. With regular practice Qigong will increase strength, mobility, improve circulation and calm your mind. Come and join me for 45 minutes of relaxing movement. Wear comfortable loose clothing and flat shoes.

    Drama for Confidence, Creativity & Fun

    Registration for this event opens on 18 August 2025

    Presenter: Margaret Bannister

    Empowering confidence, creative expression, social connection and physical and mental well-being are just some of the benefits that follow learning aspects of drama.  The programme will dive into the world of drama by exploring the world of story-telling, improvisation and character development.

    Some work on monologues from Shakespeare down to the present day, but also working in groups to find the creative spark that you may have lost.

    Free registration, but gold coin to attend each session.

    Trivia on Wheels Mystery Tour & Lunch

    Registration for this event opens on 8 July 2025

    Presenter:  Daphne Carswell

    Join the fun, test your knowledge and unleash your inner powers of deduction and trivia genius! After such a successful event last year we decided that there is more to know about the local area, it's people and the events which have shaped local communities.  This time we have added the word 'mystery' into the description because you won't know the route we have chosen for our tour until you receive the questions prior to departure.  We don't take ourselves or trivia too seriously, so rally some like minded people (your brain trust) to share your car and have some fun. 

    Participants will meet at the CSU Riverina Playhouse Carpark, 8 Cross Street at 8.45am for a roll call, organise carpools and receive the questions.  Morning tea and lunch will be factored into the day. 

    Event Manager:  Judy Grant

    Morning tea and lunch will add additional time to the event with an estimated arrival time at the Cross Street car park at around 1.30pm or thereabouts.

    Bring water, a hat and your lanyard. Please note, not all eateries take cash.

    Registration is free, but a gold coin is required to attend the session.

    What is Philosophy and why do it?

    Registration for this event opens on 1st September 2025

    Presenter: Wylie Breckenridge

    Most of us have an idea of what philosophy is, what philosophers do and perhaps even dabble in a bit of philosophy from time to time.

    But is it what we think it is?

    Do philosophers do what we think they do?

    Is is a worthwhile pursuit?

    If so, how?

    Philosopher Wylie Breckenridge will try to answer some of these questions.

    Event Manager: Daphne Carswell

    Registration is free and a gold coin required to attend every session.

    How to Love a Stranger - Working with Refugees

    Registration for this event opens on 8 September 2025

    Presenter: Deidre Moulden

    In 2005 Deidre Moulden was appointed Volunteer Coordinator for the Riverina.  In 2007 Deidre was appointed Manager for this program.  The provider was St Vincent de Paul.

    Deidre was responsible for resettling refugees in Wagga, Griffith, Young, Albury, Wodonga, Leeton and Narrandera.  Families arrived from Burma, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Bhutan and the Yazidi communities.  She was responsible for recruiting volunteers to support these families, setting up their houses with all furniture and furnishings and ensuring their general well being.

    The program was, according to the government, the best in the country.  St Vincent de Paul were partnered with the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga.  They provided Case Workers to each family or individual and organised housing in the private sector.

    The best job in the world!  Not many people get to do the work Deidre was able to do.
