Several years ago my
evenings were spent at home watching a DVD and with little interaction other
than with the characters on the television screen. Then one day I decided to
step outside my comfort zone and meet new people. I enjoyed reading books.
Perhaps there was a group of readers in town? I went to the local library and
before long I had joined a book club. Afterwards, the book club provided
connections to a writers group called the Bush
Curlews. Writing stories just so happened to be another hobby of mine.
From then on I was made
aware of various other local clubs and art groups based within the town. There
were several painting groups, the Pottery
Club, the Towers Players, the Choristers Choir singing group, the Friends of the Theatre and the Don Roderick Gallery group, just to name
a few. I soon discovered that Charters Towers has an abundance of clubs. It
seems that almost every hobby and interest is catered for.
If you like to paint,
sculpt or photograph, read, write or act in a play, then there is a club that
can be joined. If you prefer sports then there are numerous groups that cater
for that category as well. From cricket to tennis, rugby to soccer, netball to
basketball, swimming clubs, fishing clubs, dancing groups or the pistol
club......the list goes on.
Groups can meet daily,
weekly, fortnightly or monthly and new members are always welcome. There is
never an excuse to be bored while in Charters Towers; all you need to do is
‘join’.
