Celebration of VIEW’s 65th Anniversary and Club's 34th birthday

On 27th Oct 2025, Eden VIEW Club organised a celebration of both VIEW’s 65th and its own 34th in gratitude.

Many members dressed in fashions of the 60s. President Bev gave an interesting recap of women in the 60s and the wonderful opportunity that VIEW offered as it spread throughout NSW and beyond.

Guest Speaker, Pam Skelton, spoke of the simple way of living 60 plus years ago. While she didn’t regard her family as ‘poor’, their need to ‘make ends meet’ led to her life-long interest in education and engagement with community well-being.

Representatives from NG03 Clubs also attended the meeting.

Eden Whale Festival in October 2025

Our Members excelled themselves at the recent Eden Whale Festival held on 4th October 2025. We participated in the parade through town and held a trading-table stall at the Eden Sports Ground where we could both promote our Club and raise funds for our Learning for Life students.

Eden VIEW celebrates 33 years

Thirty-five ladies, including newly elected Cr Clair Mudaliar, enjoyed the Eden VIEW Club's 33rd Birthday at Florabel Cafe, Eden on 28th October. VIEW Club members from Bega, Eden, Merimbula Day and Merimbula Evening thoroughly enjoyed the luncheon. Guest Speaker was Nancy Weatherman, Deputy Commander of Eden Marine Rescue, who enthralled the ladies with her life history as a High School Teacher in Victoria and her experiences with Eden Marine Rescue for 11 years.

During lunch, Eden VIEW President, Bev Walker, explained that the name "Florabel" came from the first names of the Cafe owner, Sheri McEvoy's, mother and grandmother. Sheri's mother was the fashion editor of the Bulletin in Sydney in 1937 at the age of 17 and Sheri's grandmother was the head chef at the elegant Metropole Hotel in Sydney in the 1930s. Florabel Cafe reflects the skills and talents of these wonderful women.

All those ladies in attendance who had celebrated their birthdays in October were asked to cut the 33rd Birthday cake. 7 ladies presented themselves to attempt to cut the cake together. Much merriment ensued!!

Seafarers Beanie Knitters

On display were knitted Seafarers beanies which are very popular in the area with the fisherman.

Two very keen ladies showed us how to knit one and of course we modelled some.

An interesting site to view is the seafarers website.
