The Inner Wheel Club of Gosford North celebrated its golden anniversary on March 8 with a luncheon at Linton Gardens Somersby with 85 men and women enjoying the day.
Fifty years of fun, friendship and service to the community began when the club was chartered on March 2, 1973.
The Gosford Bowling Club was the initial meeting place, with 19 members and the late Cecily Roberts as inaugural president.
Charter member Joan Williams, helped by current member Colleen Boyce, cut the cake at the anniversary celebration.
President Chris Hirons welcomed members and friends from as far as Scone and District women from Sydney.
A slide presentation told the story of the club’s years servicing the community while leading to lifelong friendships.
The club now has a membership of 40 very active women who meet monthly and organise fundraisers to aid the vulnerable in our community, nationally and internationally.
Women interested in joining should check out the Inner Wheel Australia website to find their nearest club.
