Coolbellup Leisure Club is "not just for oldies!"
Every Thursday morning the Len Packham Reserve Clubrooms comes alive with the Coolbellup Leisure Club. This fun and friendly community of friends host a weekly social meet-up for games, market-day, sausage-sizzles, raffles, bingo, cake-stalls and outings too.
“The Coolbellup Leisure Club started in 1985 and there are three or four original members and about 30 others. We have a lot of fun and do something a little bit different each week. We welcome all people with open arms... You don't need to be an oldie to join us. We would love to get some more men into the Club too!”
- Coolbellup Leisure Club president Marianne Harding
