Welcome to the Surfcoast Life Activities Club

We are a group of retired & semi retired people, enjoying life by offering a range of activities that appeal to a wide range of interests. All of these have a significant social interaction element. Many of the current activities have come from new members who have a specific area of interest and then have worked with the committee to set up this interest as a new activity. If you would like to join us click here or on MEMBERSHIP menu item at the top. You can check  dates and times of all of our activities by scrolling to the bottom of this page, as well as listings of "one off" events which are open to all members.

Following are recent activities and information.
