The Bridge Club

Founded by members of NCJWA Vic close to two decades ago, the Bridge Club is a rewarding way to stay involved in the community, form new friendships – and play a passionate game of bridge. 

You’ll be embraced by a warm and welcoming group of bridge lovers each week. You’ll even have the chance to share a story or two over afternoon tea. 

The Golden Age Club

In partnership with Jewish Care and the Claims Conference, NCJWA Vic invites you to join the Golden Age Club – a program for Holocaust survivors from the former Soviet Union.

This Russian-speaking program hosts activities in local community centres where you will get to:

• Celebrate Jewish festivals with others throughout the year 
• Engage in light exercise and stimulating activities  
• Visit interesting places across the city (such as the Melbourne Living Museum of the West)
• Meet and connect with other members of the Jewish community
• Hear from a range of inspirational speakers and engage in topical discussions

Club Connect

If you’ve got free time and are looking for new ways to connect with your community, learn more about our Club Connect. Held twice a week, this club gives you opportunities to:

• Meet, connect and laugh with other people 
• Play games such as rummy tiles, bingo and cards
• Participate in exercise classes and special entertainment
• Share in some delicious and wholesome food (including tea, biscuits, cake and sandwiches – as well as fruit and ice-cream in the summer and soup in the winter!)

Books Out Loud

Do you enjoy reading? Do you love getting lost in a good book for hours on end?

Books Out Loud is a program for those in aged care homes. Each week, a volunteer visits to read stories to a small group – and engage in lively discussions about the literature. It’s a positive way to build your social connections while fostering your love of reading.

Join one of our Connect activities and make new friends.
