I hope that you will join your friends at WCC events and that you will all enjoy the programme we've put together for this term. You can find a copy HERE, on our website.

 

Don’t forget, Term 2 Enrolment Day is Tuesday 16 April (9. 30 - 11.00am). Online enrolments commence at 1pm and continue throughout the term. We look forward to seeing you at WCC events in Term 2. 

 

Kind regards,

Janice Rooney, Chairman, Westcoast Community Centre.

 

 

 

 

Welcome back for another exciting year. I hope you all had the best Christmas and New Year and are ready to enjoy what’s on offer this term. Our Planning Committee has once again organised some NEW and INTERESTING EVENTS, along with all our regular activities to include something for everyone!

Our AGM and Sundowner will be held on Wednesday 20 March and is one of the highlights of our programme each year. It provides members with an opportunity to have a say on the running of the Centre, to meet the Management Committee and to enjoy a relaxing social event with WCC friends. If you or someone you know might be interested in being a part of either the Management Committee or the Planning Committee for 2024, please contact Melissa for a nomination form. These committees are both good fun and are essential to the smooth running of WCC. We could do with some fresh faces, new ideas and varied skills!

Enrolment Day is on TUESDAY 30 January, commencing at 9.30am in the Community Room at The Grove Library Precinct, with postal and online enrolments getting underway from 1pm. So, if there's an activity you're really keen on, it's worth coming on down to say hello, enjoy a cuppa and do your booking in person on the day!

We hope you find things of interest in the programme and that you think about inviting a friend to accompany you to some of them. Please remember that the best way for WCC to grow is for you to let your friends know about our programme. See you all at WCC during the term!

30th Birthday Celebrations

WCC turned 30 in 2023 and, on 17 November, 100 guests were treated to an elegant afternoon tea at The Grove Library Precint to celebrate this important milestone. And what a fabulous celebration it was!

The weather was perfect and we were delighted to welcome the PLC’s Senior Piano Trio and the Year 9 String Quartet, who provided wonderful arrangements of music to set the scene as guests arrived and during the afternoon. Invited guests, Honorary and current members enjoyed a sumptuous High Tea, all organised by our volunteers. The beautiful china, silver teapots, elegant table settings and beautiful flowers were a sight to see, as was the delicious array of food and wine that was served. What a wonderful celebration of community and volunteering!

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for making the afternoon such a success. We're already looking forward to our next celebration!
