It was a very special 100th birthday for Joyce Timewell on February 16 as she celebrated it with her friends from the Central Coast Country Music Association (CCCMA) at Halekulani Bowling Club.
The event was not just a personal celebration but also a testament to the vibrant community spirit fostered by the CCCMA.
Affectionately known as Joy, Joyce is a cherished member of the CCCMA community and a regular attendee at its events held on the first and third Sundays of each month at Halekulani Bowling Club in Budgewoi.
“Her passion for country music has made her an integral part of our gatherings, where we come together to enjoy live performances and celebrate our shared love for this genre,” a spokesperson said.
“As a club dedicated to supporting the community since its inception in 1976, CCCMA seized the opportunity to honour Joy on her centennial birthday.
“The celebration was not only about recognising her age but also about appreciating her contributions to our events and the joy she brings to those around her.
“Over the years, CCCMA has been involved in numerous charitable initiatives, raising funds for various causes while promoting local talent and fostering community connections.”
About 140 people attended the gathering, with Halekulani Bowling Club generously providing a beautiful cake and local businesses contributing gifts for Joy and prizes for attendees.
“This collaborative effort exemplified the strong sense of community that defines our club,” the spokesperson said.
“The atmosphere during the celebration was filled with laughter, music and heartfelt tributes to Joy’s life and legacy.
“It was a day where everyone came together not only to celebrate one woman’s journey but also to strengthen the bonds within our community.”
