New venue draws large crowd to Seniors Expo

National Seniors Australia Garden City Branch

president Hazel Gillies was amazed by the attendance

at last week’s Seniors Expo.

The Seniors Expo 2022 opened the doors to

the Founders Pavilion at the Toowoomba Showgrounds

on Thursday.

Mrs Gillies said more than 750 people had

walked through the doors of the expo within the

first two hours of the event.

“The Founder’s Pavilion has provided a fantastic

venue for the expo, it has a lot of space which

allows us to have more vendors as well as plenty

of parking,” she said.

More than 100 vendors were present at the

expo from health products, retirement villages,

lawyers, social clubs, education and more.

“The Toowoomba Seniors Expo gathers all the

pertinent information for seniors, and their relatives

and carers under the one roof,” Mrs Gillies

said.

National Seniors Australia general manager

Chris Grice said it was fantastic to see such large

numbers so early into the day.

“We have 84 branches across the country. In

their own communities they do events just like

this; they’re either providing education or raising

money for charity,” he said.

“Seniors Expo is very much about giving back

to the community and being community-minded

when they’re engaging with their local residences.”

Mrs Gillies said she and the other members of

the Garden City Branch were grateful of the support

the Toowoomba Regional Council provided

for the 2022 Toowoomba Seniors Expo.

TRC Councillor Kerry Shine said the council

Jim Cosgrove and David Utley

Toowoomba City Bowls Club

was proud to partner with the expo for the celebrations

of Queensland Seniors Month.

“I thank the groups who have made this event

possible, particularly the organizing committee,

most notably Hazel Gilles from the National Seniors

Australia Garden City Branch,” Cr Shine

said.

“I also want to acknowledge our senior residents’

contributions across the workforce, in

community and volunteer organisations.” - Sean
