Melville City VIEW Club

MCVC is fortunate to have many skilled and “crafty” ladies amongst their membership. One of these ladies is Catherine Smith. Some time ago Catherine offered to set up a jewellery table to sell new and used items of jewellery at the monthly lunch with all proceeds going to The Smith Family. This has been a roaring success, and the ladies look forward to seeing what Catherine has on offer.

Catherine also puts on high teas at her home with the profits going to The Smith Family.

Several years ago, one of our founding members, Helen Reynolds, decided to hold a mystery bus tour. A bus was hired from the local Council, and the invite was circulated to the members. There was a small charge to members for the bus and morning tea, and lunch was at member’s cost. This proved to be very successful which led to Helen organising them several time a year. They have proven so popular that we need to hire two buses for the day.

We leave from a designated spot around 9.30am and return around 3.30pm the same day. Along the way members are trying to guess where the destination will be. We generally stop for morning tea and the final stop is for lunch. We have visited a range of places in and around Perth such as King’s Park, Yanchep National Park, historical Pinjarra and many others.

The trips are now organised by a MCC member, Marion, along with her two trusty sidekicks, Bev and Wendy. They reconnoitre venues, often from ideas from members and book for morning tea and lunch. We have around 25 members attending and when the call goes out that there’s going to be a mystery bus tour, it’s first in best dressed!
