23.01.2022 Today we attended FACTS Day and celebrated our Patron, Rae Saal, being a member of our Lismore CWA for over 50 years. Thank you Far NC Group for your organisation of the day and to the State Office Bearers for running an informative and sometimes wonderfully heated conversation so well. There really is a lot more to the CWA then scones and tea! Special shout out to our photographer of choice, Lisa Gough, for coming in and taking some photos for us.

20.01.2022 Congratulations and thank you to everyone who helped get the branch reopened and welcome to the our new members. We will be meeting on the first Thursday of the month at the Lismore CWA rooms. What a happy bunch of vegemites we are.

13.01.2022 Remembering all the women who suffered in wars (and continue to today) through losing their loved ones to actually being part of the killing . We remember you. The planes they flew were really slow... they could slow them down below the stall speed of any German fighters that went after them. Quite a few nazi pilots discovered that the hard way. Remarkable courage.... For those not in the know, Night Witches were Russian women bombers who bombed the German lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappiest planes in the entire world. These planes were so noisy that to avoid alerting the Germans hearing them on their approach (and risk facing their anti aircraft guns), these Night Witches would climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, then climb OUT ON THE WINGS OF THE PLANE TO RESTART THEIR ENGINES IN MID AIR, then climb back in and get the the hell out of dodge. Their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured. pilots. women pilots rock how is this not taught in every single history class ever? source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Witches...
