Krait Day Club 'opened'

The Krait Day Club has been "officially opened" after finding a new home at Cooinda Village in Umina Beach.

The club had outgrown its previous premises at Woy Woy Community Aged Care.

It is jointly sponsored and supported by the Department of Veterans' Affairs and the State RSL, under the auspices of the Woy Woy-Ettalong-Hardys Bay RSL Sub-branch.

The opening was attended by Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews, who later spoke in State Parliament about the club.

"The Krait is open to any interested member of the community, and is completely run by volunteers," Ms Andrews said.

The Krait is the second club to open in Ms Andrews' electorate.

The first to open was the Broadwater Club in 2004 at Point Clare.

"With around 40 active participants meeting once a week, The Krait Day Club provides social and activity opportunities for older people, mostly still living at home, but unable to attend more active programs offered in their local community," Ms Andrews said.
