As a person in that particular demographic that is constantly bombarded with messages about 'healthy ageing' I totally "get" the importance of physical activity, eating well, social interaction and nurturing the mind.
So allow me to recommend an outing that meets all of these criteria at the one venue and will keep you in the good books with your GP.
The Grand View Hotel in Cleveland's historic precinct is hosting a Seniors Lunch and Show on Thursday, 2nd of June. For an entry fee of just $20, this covers a Seniors Meal and a cup of tea or copy.
Brett Patman, with over 30 years in the entertainment industry as a singer/guitarist/entertainer/host, will be playing music from the '50s, '60s, '70 and '80s. You know, the music we can sing along with and yes, there will be a dance floor.

The exhibition is upstairs but if you've managed to dance to Nutbush City Limits and YMCA you won't find the climb any issue at all. It is Free entry but if you do feel stumped by the stairs you may enjoy the display in The Cleveland Room on the lower level. Darren Manning is a photographer, who amongst other things, likes to capture the beauty of the landscape.
Brain Function. Tick.
The Grand View Hotel is located at 49 North Street, Cleveland, and has plentiful parking and delightful views across Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island.
This is a day that would impress any Health Care Worker.
