Community Clubs
Community Clubs are community-led groups and a great place for people with similar interests to get together to share recreational, educational, sports, and entertainment activities, events, and programs.
We have a broad range of Community Clubs – sport and hobby related. If you enjoy hobbies such as dancing, music, sewing, painting, pottery, photography, gardening, cooking, billiards/pool, or board gaming… or if you are interested in more sporty pastimes, such as rugby, cricket, cycling, yoga, horse riding, dragon boat racing or diving, then there is a club for you. For the younger people in our community, we have Girl and Boy Scouts, and if you are keen on recycling… or just meeting new people, you can volunteer to help run the community thrift shop.
We can support you in launching and growing your own Community Club.
