Wellington VIEW Club |
 |
Wellington is situated at the junction of the Macquarie and Bell rivers, in the Central West of NSW. The beautiful Wellington Valley nestles at the foothills of the Catumbel Range, and its slogan is “Where the mountains and the rivers meet”. Wellington has all the services of a thriving country town combined with a village atmosphere, a water playground at its back door (Lake Burrendong), and of course, it has WELLINGTON DAY VIEW CLUB. Wellington VIEW Club was formed in 1970 and is part of the network of VIEW clubs which was founded by the Smith Family in 1960 for the purpose of promoting the Voice, Interests and Education of Women. When the club first started, many of the members were the wives of local farmers; today, most have retired to town and of course, have continued to support VIEW and The Smith Family. Wellington VIEW members have seen many changes and have adapted, as only country people can. The VIEW club is full of fun and excitement. |
Nowadays, Wellington is renowned for its themed meetings, which include: Putting on the Ritz, Music Hall Extravaganda, Spring is in the Air, Easter Bonnet Parades, Fashion Parades and many more. Guest Speakers are varied and interesting and the Viewpoint is given every month with lots of gusto. Friends look forward to meeting and chatting, each month. Four Learning for Life students benefit from the enthusiasm of Wellington VIEW members, as well as the three schools that receive Book Award vouchers. The hands of these ladies are never still - monies are constantly being raised with trading tables, raffles, special themed raffles, card parties and of course, luncheon meetings. |
Wellington VIEW Club boasts at least 14 inagural members, actively involved either on committee or still attending their luncheon meetings. VIEW IS KEEPING THEM YOUNG. Join this group of fun loving, hard working ladies - you never know - it might just keep YOU young!! |
The Luncheon meetings are held at the Soldier's Memorial Club on the third Tuesday of every month.
