The club held its AGM on February 21, which was resided over by Zone Councillor Vanda Cannock and Retired National Councillor Margaret Elliott.
President Sandra Harding spoke of the good year the club had in 2023, with many fun outings and interesting speakers, while also raising funds for the Learning for Life Program and The Smith Family – she also spoke of the challenges the club faced with an ageing committee who had been involved for many years. February saw both the Treasurer and Secretary stand down due to ill health. Subsequently, a new committee could not be formed as none of the other members felt able to fill the vacant positions. A general discussion took place, followed by a vote where it was decided, sadly, that the club should close.
The club has been running for more than 20 years. Most of the members have been there for most if not all of that time, and many have wonderful memories of the fun functions held and the enjoyable times had, whilst supporting several learning for life students and raising money for The Smith Family Charity. The time has come to be realistic about the future. Glasshouse Country View Club will hold a final lunch on March 20 at 11am at Glasshouse Country RSL to celebrate the achievements and sucesses of the club – this will be a fun function.
