Connecting Up & SAcommunity - Outreach to Victor Harbor
On Tuesday 5th April Connecting Up and SAcommunity were invited to Victor Harbor for their NBN Expo at the Victor Harbor RSL.
The Digital Economy Expo provided information to the community on how they could maximise the benefit of high speed broadband rolled out in the Victor Harbor area. Ryan Jones from Connecting Up explained the possibilities this raised for seniors to a captive audience, whilst I took control of the SAcommunity stand.
The event was devoted to speaking with an endless stream of interested people about Connecting Up and how to use SAcommunity. We met new residents who had recently retired to Victor Harbor and spoke to them about how to search for community groups and clubs in the region they wanted to join. We also talked to visitors and locals about making sure their organisation was listed on the SAcommunity directory – I’m looking at you Victor Dragons dragonboat club!
It was great to meet so many people who were really involved in their local community, some of the groups mentioned included:
Clayton Bay Community Association Inc.
Encounter Bay Ladies Probus Club Inc.
Encounter Bay Men's Probus Club
Lutheran Church Victor Harbor (LCA)
Port Elliot Computing Centre (PEITAC)
Port Elliot Surf Lifesaving Club Inc.
Probus Club of Victor Harbor Inc.
South Coast Community Church Victor Harbor & Yankalilla
Southern Fleurieu Historical Museum
Victor Harbor Social Dancing Association Inc.
Yankalilla and Districts Over 50s Club
As you can see it was a fairly busy day!
