00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: looks at things like why people fall over? What are

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: the causes of falls as you get older? It could

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: be your eyesight, it could be your hearing, it could

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: be you've got hazards in the home, like you're tripping

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: over mats and things like that. And it's also an

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: opportunity to see and have a go at lots of

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 2: different classes that are around our local communities that are

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: really good for building up strengths and mobility as people

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: get older.

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: The stuff that helps keep us up right and moving.

19
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: I see you've got about eleven agencies joining you. So

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: what some of the stuff on show?

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: Yep. So we've got people like Saint John are going

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: to be there with their home medical alarms to talk

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: to people about both. We have specsavers are there so

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: that because our hearing insight is important as well. We've

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: got a sport canter free there. They're going to be

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: doing balance testing and EA Networks themselves their staff will

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: be there doing testing and doing grip strength testing. So

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: there's lots of things to have a go at. You

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: can have a go free at to acquisize. There's a

00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: go classes that are going to be on at the

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: same time that people can just join in or watch

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: whatever they'd like to do. So, yeah, lots going on,

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: lots of giveaways, lots of information.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: You had me at giveaways. I feel like you've run

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: this before. Is it a proven concept?

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: Yes, we have. It's probably a year four now of

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: running this. We've started at the library. This year's a

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: big change for us. We're moving over to the EA

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Network Center. We think because those guys do some brilliant

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: stuff for older people. It's a good opportunity for them

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: to showcase what's on down at that center for our

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: older community. And they host a lot of things in

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: the one of which I've never heard of walking netball before. Yes,

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: so there's an opportunity to if you're more sporty focused

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: rather than exercise class focus, to have a look and

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: have a go at some of those sorts of activities

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: down at the center as well.

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: This will take all you surprised, Leslie, I've been lucky

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: enough to ever go at both pick a ball and

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: backing netball. I reckon it's tougher than regular netball. Probably

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: all you want to do is move quickly, but you're

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: not allowed to.

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, exactly, you exactly.

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Discipline well, that's something wonderful to discover and everything else

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: that's on show with the Move Well, Age Well Expo.

57
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: It is on tomorrow from nine am until twelve pm

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: at the EA Network Center and it's free
