October Meeting
Cyndi Dawes from Victoria's Transport Authority gave us an introduction to the new ticketing stystem.
Seniors, who are registered for the Sunday Pass will receive their myki free of charge in the post. The myki will have the Sunday Pass embedded in the card making travelling on Sundays easier than ever.
Passengers with the seniors myki will be able to travel in Zones 1 + 2 for a daily cap of $3.00 on Saturdays, $3.30 on weekdays and free on Sundays.
Seniors will be among the first to be issued with MYKI cards.
But remember you will only receive the new card free of charge, if you are registered for the Sunday Pass.
You will need to carry your Victorian Seniors Card when travelling as proof of entitlement.
Cyndi joined in with our (as usual) very successfull yearly International Food Night.
A big THANK YOU to all who brought along the wonderfull array of delicious food for us all to sample. It was great to see so many guests, please encourage your friends to come and enjoy what our club has to offer.
Again a big THANK YOU to Cyndi Dawes for her visit with us.
