Young at Heart going for gold at Games

Get ready to go for gold this November and December as we host the City of Whittlesea Seniors Festival with an exciting theme of ‘Young at Heart Games’.

The fun will begin with a community torch walk, inspired by the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games on Tuesday 12 November, at the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre.

The Senior’s Festival recognises and celebrates the contributions of seniors in our community. The Young at Heart Games has an exciting line-up of activities suitable for all abilities. It’s not just about getting active with friendly competition, it’s a chance for you to meet new friends and connect with people in the community.

There is something for everyone, including tennis, walking football, 10-pin bowling, carpet bowls, golf, pickleball and more.

These events, which are spread across various locations within the City of Whittlesea, are designed to be accessible and welcoming for all participants.

Bob Rampling, 76-year-old Mernda resident and golf enthusiast, is excited to be participating in the torch walk and golf competition.

“The games bring people from all walks of life together, and it’s great to see everyone enjoying themselves. They provide an opportunity to try out new and different things.” – Bob, Mernda

“It’s always good fun, good exercise, and a chance to get out in the fresh air, talking and mixing with like-minded people,” he said.

The City of Whittlesea is proud to support the Seniors Festival, a statewide initiative, of the Victorian Government.
