social activities
Parnell Community Centre organises a number of social activity groups. We invite you to join a group, improve your skills and make new friends. You'll be in great company!
We have large groups playing Bridge and Mah Jong each week. Other regular social activities include Scrabble, the Step Out Walking Group, Film Club and Seniors Coffee & Chat. U3A and two Toastmasters Clubs also meet regularly at the Centre.
