The Whangaparaoa Ladies’ Friendship Club celebrated its 25th anniversary with a sumptuous morning tea and cake cutting ceremony.
Five members who joined in the club in its first year – Ina Daly, Doris Briant, Mavis Nicolson, Tina Visser and Lois Cooksey – did the cake cutting honours.
Formerly a Probus club, the Friendship Club meets in the Bridge Clubrooms, Edith Hopper Park, Manly, on the second Tuesday of the month (excluding December and January), at 10am.
Activities include regular guest speakers and excursions, often with other clubs on the Coast.
As part of the 25th celebrations, the five women who cut the cake were also inducted as Life Members.
Member Anne Francis says the club has 50 members, but is always keen to welcome new members.
“As the name suggests, our club is about providing people with friendship and fun, and we can cater for people with mobility or health disabilities,” she says.
