Another great VIEW club meeting

An amazing night at our 31st birthday on 29 May 2025.

Theme was “The sixties” as we marked 65 years of VIEW Clubs across Australia. People dressed in sixties gear or wore Sapphire (65 years colour) blue garments. We made paper “Characterboxes” and used them for a mingling game. People had brought memorabilia from the 1960s to display, this was a great source of interest.
