What's is all about?

Looking for a relaxed and social way to exercise your mind? Join Puzzles and Chat, a friendly monthly gathering where we come together to enjoy puzzles, good conversation, and a cuppa with great company!

Whether you love crosswords, jigsaws, Sudoku, board games, trivia, word games, or brain teasers, there’s something for everyone. Bring a puzzle to share or simply join in with others—it’s all about unwinding, connecting, and having fun.

2026 Information

We are currently seeking a volunteer facilitator to run this group. If you are interested, please get in touch with the Woodend Neighbourhood House via email at reception@woodendnh.org.au or by calling 5427 1845, Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm.

If you are interested in attending the group (but not as a facilitator), please register your interest via this webpage.

If you have an idea for your community and need some support to get things off the ground then come and talk to us at the House and we’ll talk about how we can help. We love to hear from our community and get involved.

We have a range of children’s activities and adult learning opportunities during terms and some school holidays. We support local community groups – whether it’s providing a space for them to meet or giving them assistance with funding applications. Come and talk to us about your ideas and how we can help your group realise their dreams. We also run our own community building activities such as the Woodend Community Lunch and the Woodend Repair Cafe.
