Seniors Week is being held from Sunday 6 October to Sunday 13 October as part of the month-long Seniors Festival in October. If you hold a Victorian Seniors Card, you can get out and explore metropolitan Melbourne and Regional Victoria with 8 days of free travel during that time. Carry your Seniors Card with you on public transport. Touch on and off as usual, you won’t be charged. On regional services that don’t use myki, just show your Victorian Seniors Card to the conductor or bus driver.
You need to reserve a seat on long distance V/line trains and some coaches. Bookings can be made at your nearest station or agent from 10.00 on Tuesday 10 September. Seats can fill quickly so book early.
On Sunday 6 October Celebration Day at Federation Square commences from 12 to 7pm. Some members of the U3a Benalla Ukes4Fun group will be taking part in the Mass Ukulele Performance from 3.15 to 3.40pm. It would be good to see some members of Benalla U3A in the crowd, supporting the group.
There are many activities catering for all tastes, including the Melbourne Town Hall Big Band Dance from 12.00 to 4.00pm. Country Concerts are being held around Victoria, Heritage walks in various gardens, Film Festivals, etc. If you haven’t got a Seniors Card apply for free or find out more at Seniors Online - www.seniorsonline.vic.gov.au or call 1300 797 210.
The free Victorian Seniors Festival book is available at supermarkets, groups you may attend. Keep a look out for the brightly coloured booklet with happy people on the cover.
