Celebrating VIEW in 2025
Following the cancellation of the May meeting, Members were thrilled to be able to celebrate Gloucester’s 36th birthday and VIEW Australia’s 65th at the June meeting by announcing we are now supporting a 5th Learning for Life student.

New Members Welcomed in June 2025
What better way to celebrate the 36th birthday of our Club and VIEW's 65th anniversary than to welcome eight new members, who can be seen in the accompanying photo. Also awarded on the day were two VIEW service pins.

Remembering the ANZAC's in April 2025
The commemoration entitled Fact or Fiction, Myth or Legend?, researched and written by Ass.Sec Bev M, was ably presented by nine members. Program Officer Pat R made ANZAC biscuits for all and produced an ANZAC inspired newsletter.
Lest We Forget.

March 2025 Celebrating St Patrick's Day
Our March meeting was well attended, and we were pleased to welcome several guests; however we did miss those members who are on the Sick List - get well soon ladies.
This day was all about celebrating St.Patrick’s Day so some attendees wore A Touch of Green and several members spoke of Ireland and different aspects of that country. An interesting fact is that although St.Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, he wasn’t Irish!
Special wishes to Marie L on a milestone birthday.

Perfect Attendance in 2024
It was hearty congratulations to the Members in the photo who achieved 100% attendance in 2024.

Close of 2024
In December Members and guests celebrated with an Australian Christmas luncheon. President Robyn welcomed NC Dianne and ZC Des. Everyone joined in the Christmas Quiz presented by Bev M and the sing-along as Judy H played and Elaine M led the singing.
All guests left with a slice of cake prepared by member Rae D. Our Club is now in recess until the AGM in February. Members wish everyone a very happy Christmas.

Presentations
Nathalie A was presented with her 30 year membership badge.

We Will Remember Them
The November Luncheon Meeting was well attended.
An address The Traditions of Remembrance Day, prepared by member Bev M and was presented by nine Members followed by a moment of silence in remembrance.
Lest we forget.

Trekking in October 2024
Members and guests enjoyed our October gathering which was again held at the Gloucester Country Club and, as usual, a delicious lunch followed the business meeting.
Guest speakers Cathy and Phil Henry spoke about their walk on the Camino Pilgrim's Track in Spain. Their slides, souvenirs, and photos added to their informative presentation.

September 2024 Trivia
Unfortunately, our Guest Speaker was unable to attend and Members wish her a speedy recovery - hoping to see you next year Charlie. At very short notice Committee Member Bev M organised a Trivia Quiz which members enjoyed.

August 2024 with Courtney
The August Luncheon Meeting got underway with Blind/Vision Impaired athlete Courtney Webeck’s interesting and informative talk. At the conclusion of her presentation Courtney was delighted to receive a substantial boost to her funds courtesy of the Community Op Shop before leaving for another appointment in Sydney.
Thank you Courtney for visiting our Club and our Members wish you all the best with your future endeavours. Courtney can be seen in the accompanying photo.

Christmas In July 2024
The weather was certainly winter weather -windy, cold, even light snow on nearby Barrington Tops, and just in time for our Club’s Christmas in July Luncheon Meeting.
Guest speaker Rhea, who can be seen in the accompanying photo, explained how important the Breast Milk Bank is.
