Club Chairperson Mrs Nandan awarded four members for excellent attendance at the weekly meetings. The members took a trip down memory lane with a golden oldie song guessing game. They had plenty of fun and this was evident with the tapping of feet and clapping as they correctly guessed the songs. A game of musical ‘exercise chairs’ was played, guided by Physiotherapist Selochana Naidoo.
