Seniors to wait 12 weeks

Members of the Ettalong Senior Citizen's Centre have been told they will have to wait a further 12 weeks for the safe removal of asbestos found in the building's air conditioning system in March.

Changes to venues include Monday and Thursday dancing moved to the Peninsula Community Centre from 9am to 11.30am each day.

The community centre will also temporarily house painting on Fridays from 9am to 11am.

Handicraft on Tuesdays from 9am will also be relocated to the Peninsula Community Centre.

Thursday's table tennis has been moved to Gosford Town Centre's Market Town, while Monday's active over 50's will move to the Ettalong Progress Hall in Memorial Ave from apm to 2pm.

The Ettalong Progress Hall will also hold Friday's line dancing classes from 10.30am.
