What a wonderful year we have had, with the last luncheon of the year being held on Monday, 15 th December, with 29 ladies attending.
Everyone is getting ready for their Christmas celebrations with family visiting or going to family’s homes.
The winner of our lolly jar was two ladies, those who guessed the right amount were Jenny Berry and Trish Deans.
Jenny let Trish have the prize, and we gave another prize to Jenny for being kind. There were a lot of raffle prizes, so there were quite a lot of smiling faces.
We will be returning on February 16 th , and it will be our AGM
I hope a few ladies will step up and take a position on the Committee for 2026. Just think it over, as with no Committee there will be no club, and I’m sure we don’t want that. I hope to see all of you next year. Merry Christmas to all, and have a happy New Year from all the Committee.

We had 42 ladies attend on Monday 17th March. We had a Movie Dinner day, the movie was SPIT and dinner was at Inlet eats, it turned out a lovely day, which I'm sure everyone enjoyed themselves. In April we are holding a sausage sizzle. We are a group of ladies who, through The Smith Family, support the education of children from disadvantaged families. Our View Club has been established for 47 years in Sussex Inlet.
We have 4 students who we provide funds to for their schooling through The Smith Family.
VIEW Clubs of Australia - Voice, Interests View and Education of Women. VIEW was formed as an organisation which allowed women from all walks of life to develop interests outseide the home, providing friendship, education and mental stimulation. At the same time they hoped to offer these women the means to assist other less fortunate through The smith Family. That special relationship between The Smith Family continues today. We would love to welcome new members to our club. We meet once a month for a 2 course lunchat the Sussex Inlet RSL. We have a guest speaker at each meeting and an outing each month. Our next outing is a sausage sizzle at the barbeque area at the back of RSL. Our fundraising consists of a proportion of the cost of our meals, raffles, and lucky door prize during our meeting and our outing/function once a month. We warmly welcome visitors for our monthly lunch. You will meet lovely ladies, make new friends and perhaps become a member of VIEW yourself.
Details: Meeting/ Lunch every 3rd Monday of the month at Sussex Inlet RSL
