CWA of Brunswick Heads

April 2023 The Byron Wave


Don’t miss this Market Day

by Beverly Masters, Public Relations Officer, CWA Brunswick Heads

Saturday 15 April will be the CWA’s second Market Day of the year. As usual there will be plenty of baked goods, and we will be raising money for our community. Come along

and see our hand knitted bears,
our delicious treats, and our other beautiful creations. All the money raised goes back into supporting the Brunswick Heads community.

April is a special month where we share stories about the ANZAC war

and how it affected the families whom our brave ANZACs left behind. It is the anniversary when we stop and think about the first major Military Action fought by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in World War 1.

Every year the CWA of Brunswick Heads lays a wreath at the Memorial Park in Honour of their sacrifice for our freedom. Another tradition on ANZAC day is, of course, the ANZAC biscuit. Head to page 35 to see our very own

recipe for ANZAC biscuits.

CWA of Brunswick Heads Crafty Women meet Fridays 10am – 2pm, corner of Park and Booyun Street, Brunswick Heads. Join us for a chat,
a cuppa and bring along your craft projects including sewing, knitting, crocheting, memory books or quilting. Beginners are welcome. Please bring a gold coin donation.

The Country Women’s Association (CWA) of Brunswick Heads is hosting its highly anticipated first market of 2024 on Saturday, 23 March from 8am–1pm.

This beloved event showcases our handmade crafts, delectable jams, savoury pickles, mouth-watering cakes, and other homemade goods. Proceeds from the market will be donated to support the local community.

Visitors can expect a wide array of unique items, from handmade quilts to children’s clothing, as well as freshly baked treats. Beyond shopping, the market provides an opportunity for the community to come together in support of a worthy cause.

Our market days happen quarterly in March, June, September and December and have been a cherished tradition that our locals love and are a testament to the dedication of our CWA members who tirelessly organise them.

We also wish to recognise International Women’s Day on 8 March and express gratitude to those have paved the way for us, making our journey a bit easier.

The CWA has been operating in Australia for 100 years since 1922. From its first gathering, the group have grown to play a vital role in Australian society, providing women from all walks of life with support, knowledge and friendship whilst also fundraising for the community.

The Brunswick Heads branch of CWA was established in 1948. The group has now grown to 25 members, who regularly meet to have a cuppa, a laugh, a chat, and make crafty things which they then sell at various markets and community events.

The next event will be the Brunswick Heads CWA Market Day Saturday 10 December, 8am – 1pm.

There are endless ways for you to become involved when you are a member of your local CWA Branch. CWA Brunswick Heads Crafty Women meet each Friday from 10am – 2pm (excluding public holidays) and all are welcome. A gold coin donation is required from members and non-members to attend.
