August 8, 2021 – Seniors' Free Train Trip - Courtesy of the Government - Destination Castlemaine
This is our chance to take advantage of the free travel passes that we are sent every year. This year we will be taking a day trip to lovely Castlemaine and back. All Ghostriders and their partners are invited to join us for a pleasant day of fellowship and travel.

If you would like to be a part of this trip you will need to let me know by Sunday 25th July. I will then contact VLINE to make the group booking. They will then give me a group booking reference number which I will share with all those taking part. All you then have to do is take your free travel pass and the booking number to your local train station, so that they can exchange it for your ticket.
