Each year for the last eight years, every member of the bowling club who is over 80 years of age receives an invitation to attend one of the five lunches.
The senior citizens receive a free meal and some prizes are given on the day to the oldest members in attendance.
The queue was well and truly out the door of Billabongs Restaurant on Monday, with plenty of seniors lining up to enjoy the complimentary meal and festivities.
East Maitland Bowling Club marketing manager Jill Nelson said the lunches provided their senior members with an enjoyable day out.
