Forbes View Club December meeting was held on Thursday 12 with James Whalen joining the 45 View Club members for our Christmas celebration lunch.
He joined in the Christmas festivities by entertaining the ladies singing carols.
He also joined in helping to answer Christmas Trivia, judging the carol sing-off and enjoying a delicious meal. Thank you to Club Forbes for providing the venue.
We wish Helen Hurley, our past president, all the best for her new adventures in Queensland and hope she is enjoying her new lifestyle.
I’m sure we will be hearing from her often. She has found a View Club within five minutes of her new home, so she will continue to be an active supporter.
