Meet Our 2025 Committee
Great start to the year with our Annual General Meeting reporting what a successful year we had in 2024.
And a new committee took up office.


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.

Another great VIEW club meeting
The Hat Lady gave a very interesting talk!! Plus we raised $350 with our annual cake stall. And 3 lucky people won a raffle prize.
