National Seniors NSW Liverpool Branch are a group of people over 50 years of age who belong to the National Seniors Association and meet on a regular basis to enjoy the social activity and physical contact with people of similar views and situations. Our group provides tour outings and interesting speakers, chosen for the challenge and entertainment value as well as educational value.

We hold our general meetings at 10.00am on the last Thursday of each month at Cabramatta Bowling Club, Fairview Road, Cabramatta. These meetings are the basis of our activities and social contact. We generally have an interesting speaker who can enrich our lives with more than just educational values.

Our President currently is

Len L.

The Branch was established with a Steering Committee in March 2002. The inaugural membership was in excess of 100 persons. This meeting was held at the Liverpool Bowling Club. Currently the meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month at Cabramatta Bowling Club, Fairview Road Cabramatta . The meetings commence shortly after the 10.00am opening of the Bowling Club.

The Steering Committee maintained their positions for 18 months in order to establish an Annual General Meeting date for August.
