Meet Our Committee

The committee, minus two! A very exciting year has been planned for our members.

At The 2026 Gala

The Area QA Gala was a well attended festive occasion. A highlight was the presentation of a Making Difference Award, pictured on the left, to past National Councillor Lyall by National Councillor Irene and National Vice President Angie. Well deserved recognition for Lyall, of her contribution to View and last year’s national conference.

Photo on the right is of some very lively entertainment at the Gala, as this cheery duo had some of the crowd up and dancing!

Inspiring Guest Speaker

Rachel Kondos-Fields, pictured, won the admiration of all the members with a fascinating and inspiring talk on her accomplishments which includes setting up schools in Nepal and founding her company Wattle Nest which supports talented young athletes. A wonderful high achiever and a gifted speaker.

Social Outing on the River

On this outing we enjoyed a relaxing morning journeying up the Brisbane river on the City Cat followed by a stop at the most recent addition to City Cat terminals, Howard Smith Wharfs.

A delicious lunch at one of the many restaurants at the wharves followed. Great to see our heritage landmarks given new life.

Park Outing in 2026

Members took to the great outdoors for coffee and chat this month, which took the form of a delicious picnic, and was enjoyed by everyone in the beautiful surroundings of Rocks Riverside Park.

Top photo shows some of our very relaxed Members with the bottom photo showing Lindy warding off the two marauding Kookaburras; whose favourites from the wonderful array of goodies was the Date loaf.

International Women's Day 2026

Our Members took part in a joint International Women’s Day function, which included Centenary Evening, Chapel Hill and Kenmore Clubs. The Presidnets of these Clubs organised the day which was very successful for the 150 guests attending.

The walls of the function room were decorated with wonderful quilts which depicted different aspects of International women’s day. The quilts were the work of our great guest speaker Bev , who assembled them from blocks donated by many women.

Accompanying photo on the left shows - Marion, vice president of Kenmore, Gaynor, president of Centenary and Liz, president of Chapel Hill and photo on the right shows a close up of one of the beautiful quilts.

Behind the scenes at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

We found the backstage tour of Queensland Performing Arts Centre fascinating. Here we are peering into the cantilevered all glass foyer of the new 5th theatre in the complex, due to open soon.

At The Law Courts in 2025

These three suspects were found loitering outside the law courts!

Our visit to the beautifully designed law courts was very interesting. The reflection in the window shows part of Yayoi Kusama’s Eyes mural. No two eyes are the same.

Fundraising Morning Tea in 2025

Publicity Officer Cath, hosted a most elegant and delicious morning tea at her beautiful home. Cath also did the bulk of the catering. 22 of us enjoyed the results!
