Marking 52 years to the day since the club was formed, the celebration coincided with the 60th anniversary of View Clubs Australia.
The COVID-19 pandemic robbed members of the chance to celebrate the milestone in Sydney but members embraced the View Club Australia's anniversary theme of "all that sparkles" by wearing their best diamonds during the festivities.

Of Tamworth's three View clubs, the Day View Club is the oldest having been formed in 1968.
Club member Narelle Powdrell said the club had come a long way since its inception.
"At the inaugural meeting of Tamworth Day View Club, a lady in attendance was heard to say: 'that will never work, how wrong can you be?' and here we are today," Ms Powdrell said.
"In the local View area, we have two Tamworth women who are members of the national council, Beryl Pike, who is a vice president of the national council and Sally Cronberger.
"We are very proud of these ladies who are so involved in moving the organisation forward."
All View Club events help raise funds for the Smith Family and its Learning for Life program, which disadvantaged students through school.
"The members of Tamworth Day View Club work constantly to raise enough to support their three students," Ms Powdrell said.
"We enjoy all facets of club life, including our lunch meetings, the various events and functions, the friendship of members and working with the Smith Family."
