What We Do
We have many ongoing activities (as listed below) and are always open to suggestions for starting new ones. As well, we have many Special Events. Please take a look at our Special Events page for more details.
|
Book Club
Members decide on books, and where to meet, as a group. The choices are very varied and no opinion is ever wrong - the emphasis is on having fun while sharing comments and thoughts on the latest selection. |
|
Dining In
You’ll soon learn that our members enjoy eating and drinking! Whoever is hosting Dining In plans the menu for a potluck supper. Guests bring their assigned dishes and beverages of choice and a good time is had by all! At the end of the evening, everyone takes their dirty dishes and leftovers home with them. Hosts provide tea and coffee. |
|
Drinks and Appies
Different members host this casual event in their homes. Guests bring their own drinks, glasses and an appetizer to share with the group. At the end of the evening, everyone takes their glasses and leftovers home with them. Hosts provide tea and coffee. |
|
Drop-in Billiards & Pool
This evening of billiards and socializing at James Street Billiards is open to all members and, depending on requests, different games can be played. |
 |
Games Night
Enjoy everything from card & board games to bocce, croquet, & badminton, depending on the host's choice and weather. |
|
Golf
Weather permitting, we tee off at Pryde Vista Golf Course, located at 155 Pryde Avenue. Multiple tee times are booked for each session. |
|
Hiking
The group meets in the parking lot at Northfield Road and The Nanaimo Parkway. We then carpool to the week's chosen hiking destination. This hike is more challenging than the Sea Wall Walk. |
 |
Ladies' Movie Event
An opportunity for the gals to get together and see some "chick flicks"! Sure beats going alone or with a reluctant partner! |
|
|
Mah Jongg (MJ)
An enthusiastic group of players gets together for an evening of fun, games and strategy! Everyone brings their own refreshments. Annual $30.00 MJ fee covers room rental. |
 |
Men's Breakfast / Coffee
Meet at the Windward Neighbourhood Pub for a cuppa, a cuppa and snack, or a full-blown breakfast and some manly "man talk"! |
|
Nanaimo Clippers Hockey
The hockey fans among us get together to cheer on our local Junior Hockey Team. Games are held at Frank Crane Arena, Beban Park Complex. |
|
Pub Lunch
Each month our convener selects a different Nanaimo-area pub for us to visit. Casual and fun, it’s a great way to get to know our members in a relaxed atmosphere. |
|
Pub Night
As if Pub Lunch wasn’t enough, we also like to sample the local area pubs for dinner, too! |
|
Sea Wall Walk
We meet in the parking lot at Maffeo Sutton Park for an easy stroll along the waterfront. Our walk is usually followed by a cup of tea or coffee at Dancing Goat. |
 |
Social Bridge
This is for those of us who just want to have fun with Bridge and enjoy the relaxed company of like-minded individuals. You shouldn't take yourself, your skills (or lack thereof) seriously. You don't even have to know how to play! Learn as you go! The only thing serious here is the pursuit of casual camaraderie! |
|
Sunday Brunch
Indulge yourselves! Explore local brunch venues with a group of enthusiastic foodies. The company's great, the food plentiful and you start off your Sunday in a very relaxed way. |
|
Westwood Lake Walk
Meet in the Westwood Lake public access parking lot by the beach. The walk is a circuit right around the lake, the distance is 6 km and takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to complete. |
|
Wine Tasting
Each time the group meets, a "Grape of the Month" is chosen and participating members bring a bottle to share and compare with the others. |
|
Women's Morning Coffee
The ladies meet at Serious Coffee, by Piper's Pub, for coffee and a chat. |
