Alpha Social Club


Social Club Overview

The Alpha Social Club was formed many years ago.  The group has grown substantially and now has formed its own Committee, whilst still being supported by Alpha.

The Alpha Social Group provides an opportunity for adults of all ages and various abilities across the Autism Spectrum, to meet and enjoy social activities in a friendly group environment.

When Activities Are On

The Club runs activities on the 3rd Monday of the month from approximately 4pm-6pm.

Membership is free, all you need to do is request a membership form by calling (03) 9885 2777, complete the form and post it back to Alpha Autism Inc, 1939-1941 Malvern Road, East Malvern, Victoria, 3145. You will then be on the mailing list and receive information regarding upcoming activities.

Cost

Membership in the Alpha Social Club is free, but members are expected to pay their own way to any activities they participate in.

Transport

Members are expected to make their own way to and from the activities. Most activities are chosen for their central location and a reasonable proximity to public transport. 

Selection of Activities

Alpha Social Club activities are suggested by members at a meeting early each calendar year. Activities are selected from the list according to popularity amongst attending members. The activities are then researched, organised, and a calendar of events produced by the Social Club Committee.
