Have A Go Day
It’s that time of year again when the question on
every Western Australian senior’s lips is “Are you having a go?”
The Seniors Recreation Council of WA (SRC) is proud
to present Have a Go Day an information & activities day
held in Burswood Park, Great Eastern Highway, this year it will
be held on Wednesday 9 November 2011, between 8.30am and 3pm.
An annual initiative of the SRC – a volunteer-based
organisation that promotes healthy ageing through activity – Have A Go
Day is a free event that allows seniors to try out a range of sporting
and recreational activities and hopefully go on to join a sport or
recreation club. Also a wide range of information specific to seniors
can be gained from visiting the various static displays.
This event attracts approx 12000 people with its
diverse array of offerings.
“Being active both physically and mentally in your
older years can have great health benefits, helps you to maintain
friendships and keeps you being an active part of the community. It can
also result in improved mental health, reduced risk of disease, social
interaction, lifelong independence and overall being, so we urge all
Over 45s to get out there on the day and Have A Go!”
An exciting program of activities is planned
including Tai Chi, Seniors Golf, Exercise to Music, Archery,
Weightlifting, Canoeing, Tennis, Traditional Wing Chun, Croquet, Squash,
Bridge, Climbing Wall, Group Walk and Helicopter Rides, all topped off
by a wide range of static displays.

Woodturning, Dry Casting, Rock Tumbling, Metal Detecting, Quilting,
Aboriginal Art and Storytelling.

go.
