Galston CWA News

We held our cookery competition on the 24th February. It had been a few years since our branch had held this competition and we had a wonderful response. Those whose cakes and jams won first place will now go onto Group level (Semi finals) and will be judged, with the winners then going onto State. Our youngest entrant Miranda, 10 years old, who entered the Junior sectionCrunchy Topped Lemon Loaf will also go onto Group level. Fingers crossed for all our entrants!

Information on next year’s competition will be announced in the new year. Everyone is welcome to enter, not just CWA members.

We have welcomed a few new members to our Branch over the past few months, Thank you to our newest members. We are always looking for others to help make CWA a continuing asset to our community and realize we are not just about tea and scones.

On the subject of tea and scones however, thank you to our members who volunteered in tea rooms at the Castle Hill Show and the Royal Easter Show.
