Gunnedah’s Country Women’s Association hosted its third annual Mother’s Day Market last weekend.
The market stalls offered plenty for the discerning shoppers – from plants to pendants, jewels to jugs, nic-nacs and one-off keepsakes.
Easily the most popular part of the event was the morning tea.
Sweet slices and delicious cakes tempted those willing to indulge.
The kitchen volunteers were again a hive of activity.
Safe to say, no-one left hungry.
The plant stall also proved popular.
Running the stand was Gunnedah CWA branch treasurer, Pina Guerrini.
The new committee member has lived in the Gunnedah area for about 18 months.
She moved with partner Chris from Barraba where they continue to run a beef cattle farm.
Now happily settled in their new community, Ms Guerrini said joining the CWA was their way of giving back.
“During the drought, the CWA was one of the organisations that really helped us out,” she said.
Ms Guerrini said having a great committee behind her was also been of great benefit.
“I’ve always felt quite welcome here,” she said.
In other news, CWA Gunnedah branch president Leonie Harley said new tenants are also lined up for the Barber Street building.
Ooranga Family Mobile Resource Unit, which has been operating from the Gunnedah CWA building for many years, recently announced “new headquarters” for the organisation.
