Club Program (Public) Oct Nov Dec 2025 

 The Walking Club of Victoria has a comprehensive social program to complement the walking programs.  In addition to monthly lunches and dinners, interested members are invited to join an online communication platform (Slack), where members post invitations to attend movies, theatre, health-and-wellbeing, art and book events. There are usually several events happening every week to choose from!   

Here’s what our members are saying:

“The events are very varied. I think some people will be prompted to move out of their comfort zones if they can go with people they know and don’t have to go out on their own. There will in the future be a lot of happy members.” Maureen Gamon

“I think it is fantastic. A lot of my friends live away from the city, so to be able to just meet up with like-minded members for all sorts of events has been really wonderful for me.” Helen Bell

“Slack is especially great for singles who want to attend events but don’t want to go alone. The Slack platform is easy to use; you can control notifications and attend as many or as few events as you like. The Book channel is great for getting ideas about what to read next. I highly recommend others join Slack - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Kitty Muntz

To join the Social Networks you must be a club member; members wishing to join should email the social secretary Jennifer Pitcher at jenniferpitcher56@gmail.com.

After browsing the photo gallery you might like to submit a few of your own photos. To do so first resize them to 800 x 600, then email them to photos@walkingclubvic.org.au, together with a short description.  Not all photos received will necessarily be published.

Select one of the following categories to view.  After viewing the photos in that category click "Photos" again in the Main Menu to return to this page.
