The Golden Oldies Athletics Club is a club for senior citizens who would like to keep fit while having tremendous amounts of fun at the same time.
The programme entertains all people that are 60 years and older and includes fun activities such as the duck walk, the dress-up-race, passing the ball, and for those who are wheel chair bound there is pegging the washing.
Some of the more serious events include the 100m, 400m, 500m brisk walk and the 800m jog/run. For the more adventurous, other activities include rugby-ball throw (throwing a rugby ball at a target), goal shooting (a hockey activity), pass the ball (a soccer activity).
The club has various events happening in the third quarter (July to September) which include zonals, and a district event where teams from the different zones come to take part.
A Cacadu team will then be selected to take part at the provincials, where an Eastern Cape team will be selected to take part at the Golden Games Nationals.
Anyone interested in joining the club can contact Hilton Adonis at the Department of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture for more information.
