What people said about the day
-
“I throughly enjoyed the Seniors expo. 2026. To have so many stalls which catered for our age group was fantastic. To get so much up to date information heartened me that just because we live away from many major cities we aren’t forgotten. I love being a Senior in the NT and now have more knowledge of my rights thanks to the information I gained at this expo . I even joined COTA with a joint membership with my husband – thanks for the showbag!” Ann Flynn
