Rockingham to celebrate Autumn Centre’s 25th anniversary

Rockingham’s Autumn Centre will celebrate 25 years of providing an active and social environment for over 50s next Wednesday.

The Autumn Centre offers people over the age of 50, and people with disability over the age of 18 accompanied by a carer, a space to pursue personal interests and create support networks.

From 9am-12pm on October 24 the Autumn Centre will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a free celebration that includes have-a-go activities, information stalls, arts and crafts and morning tea.

Members of the public will be able to learn all about the benefits of becoming a member and the centre’s cafe and dining room will be open.

City of Rockingham Mayor Barry Sammels encouraged residents to join in the celebrations.

“Since opening in 1993, the City of Rockingham Autumn Centre has consistently been a focal point for community activity,” Mr Sammels said.

“While the City may have changed a lot since the mid-1990s, I’m delighted to see that the Autumn Centre remains as popular as ever in 2018.

“The continued success of the Autumn Centre is a testament to the members who make it such a fantastic place, and the City staff who continually strive to provide an engaging and welcoming place for them to visit.”

The centre presents a range of activities and events year round, including dance and fitness classes, arts and crafts, games and support groups, excursions, and services including podiatry and hairdressing.

The Autumn Centre is on McNicholl Street, Rockingham and is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am-4.30pm.
