The Berwick Activities Group celebrated their 30th anniversary on Wednesday 12 July.
Formerly known as the Timbarra Over 50’s Club, the group gathered to honour their many years of fun, with activities from New Vogue dancing, to carpet bowls, scrabble, card games and table tennis.
“It’s something special for a unique club to last 30 years and provide activity for people, we want to celebrate it,” Club President David Baker said.
“The hall was so beautifully decorated.
“It turned out to be a great day and after lunch we had an anniversary cake and entertainment.”
The club hosts anniversary celebrations every ten years.
This year, around 75 members came together to enjoy a catered meal, delicious cake and a performance by the “Singing Cowboy”.
Former members were invited, alongside foundation member, 94-year-old Iris Eckhardt, who helped start the club 30 years ago.
“It was very good, I really enjoyed it,” Iris said.
“I used to play table tennis every Wednesday, everybody is very friendly.”
The various committees from the club have maintained a great relationship with their members overt the years, planning day trips and luncheons around Melbourne as well as social group nights.
“I’m hoping the club keeps going for another 10 years after this,” Mr Baker said.
