• Lions Club of Roma Annual Seniors Month BBQ – 12noon Sunday, 12 October, Lions Park of Roma

• Roma Seniors Month Luncheon & Entertainment – Tuesday, 28 October, Clay Target Club Roma.

The Roma luncheon is one of several events taking place across the region for Seniors Month, including a morning tea at the Great Artesian Spa in Mitchell and the Lions Club of Roma’s annual Seniors Month BBQ.

To help seniors from across the region attend, free buses will run from Mitchell, Injune, Surat, Wallumbilla and Yuleba.

Bookings are essential. To reserve your place, contact Council on 1300 007 662 and ask to speak with your Local Development Officer.
