No such club or place have come to the notice so far, but Dwarka should go for one.  There are already two Sr. Citizens' Associations in Dwarka in addition to a parent Federation covering all over Delhi.  DF can plan such a Club in association with these Organizations.   The Club can have games, library, etc., etc.  
 
Such Clubs also can expect grant from Delhi & Central Govts.

I second the idea of Chattwal ji. Why not give a thought on it & make it realistic. A place where people from all walks of life can come, share their experience beside library & some indoor games.

We may have a Sr. Citizens Club in Dwarka Exclusively for Sr. Citizens. This also is better in View of separate set of rules governing such clubs.

Dwarka Club may be there for all
