25.01.2022 Our community is amazing! Last week the lovely Diane from Café DMR presented us with a large monetary donation from the sale of face masks she and a friend made over the past few months. The money will stay on the Peninsula where it will be used for the benefit of primary school children doing it tough. We will keep you updated as we progress with the project. ... Many thanks go to all of her loyal customers that purchased the masks to help make a difference in a local child's life.

24.01.2022 After heatwave conditions of the past few days it was a pleasure to meet with two ladies from Red Cross today and hand over 68 cooling neck ties for them distribute to vulnerable residents in our community.

23.01.2022 We love the Clown Doctors! This week we donated some beautiful handmade rugs to Tricia, who fundraises for The Humour Foundation's Clown Doctors Program. These rugs will be sold or raffled to raise much-needed funds to allow the Clown Doctors to continue to bring laughter and joy where it is least expected, but most needed. Tricia will be holding a stall at Mingara Recreation Club next Thursday the 29th of October with funds raised supporting the work of the Clown Doctors. And we all know we could use a good laugh at the moment! If you find yourself in the area, stop by and say hello. There will also be EFTPOS facilities available to contactless payments and donations.

Let get this party started!

21.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek If #MeatlessMonday is a thing for you then you will love this recipe! Not a lot of work involved for such a tasty dish. Serve hot with a crisp salad or your favourite veg. A vegan version can easily be made by using/making your own vegan pesto and using dairy-free spread in place of butter. Enjoy!

21.01.2022 Today we held our branch AGM. All positions are filled! Sadly we had to forego our usual group photo and badge presentation due to COVID-19 guidelines, but it was a wonderful morning nonetheless. Congratulations to our new and returning office bearers. Here's to another wonderful year ahead! Special thanks to Barbara of Terrigal Evening Branch of CWA in NSW for chairing our AGM again this year. It's always a pleasure to have you with us!

19.01.2022 If a picture paints a thousand words then so do these photos. Earlier this year we started a GoFundMe page to raise money for fire-resistant socks for our NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers who work tirelessly all year, every year to keep us safe. Why socks you ask? Because fire-resistant socks aren't part of the standard uniform issue for RFS volunteers and we, along with Central Coast Disaster Relief - CCDR, think they should be. ... On Tuesday with many thanks to Craig from Workin' Gear, Tim from Wilderness Wear and all of you who donated to our fundraiser, we handed over 400 pure Australian wool fire-resistant socks. We also donated 467 cooling neck-ties thanks to the sewing efforts of our busy members. Wool from Tasmania, socks made in Victoria by a 100% owned Australian company. Not only can we save feet but we can help a farmer, a manufacturer and keep people employed. Our goal is to cover all the RFS feet on the coast so if you can spare a few dollars this summer season please pop over to our campaign page and donate today! https://www.gofundme.com/f/hn2nt-pulling-our-socks-up-for-t If you have donated already, thank you! This would not have been possible without your support. #CCDisasterRelief #CCDR #CWAWoyWoy #GiveWhereYouLive

19.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek Love chocolate cake? Love an easy recipe? Hate too much washing up? Then give this easy chocolate cake a whirl. Iced or not it will become a favourite very quickly. Perfect for when you need a cake at the last minute!

11.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek If you don't like traditional fruit cake for Christmas then this could be your go to recipe. The delicious drunken fruit adds a certain festive flare to this wonderful cake. It comes to you from the culinary library of our very own Cookery Officer, Amy. Thank you for sharing it with us! Don't be afraid to experiment with your spirit of choice. Rum or Bourbon would be delightful additions!

09.01.2022 It's a great day to celebrate! Today is International Day of People with Disability - Australia! We join in celebrating the amazing achievements and contributions of the 4.4 million Australians living with disability. As a branch we are very proud to have members with disability. The wonderful skills, diverse experience and community spirit they bring is definitely something to be celebrated! ... On a day like today, it is also important to remember that not all disabilities are visible. Be kind to those around you as you never know what they are facing. #IDPWD #IDPWD2020

07.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek Despite today being Friday the 13th, there is nothing spooky about these delicious biscuits. Easy to make and even easier to eat. They can also be made vegan by using your favourite plant based milk. You can also use regular wheat flour, spelt or gluten free flour. Ours were made using natural peanut butter so they spread out a bit more. If you're using normal peanut butter without so much oil they'll be slightly smaller and chunkier. Either way - delicious!

06.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek Finger food for the footy or to add to your weekly dinner repertoire, these easy chicken muffins are sure to be a hit served with dipping sauce or a fresh crisp salad. Also a great option for school lunch boxes, or afternoon tea. Perfect warm, or cold! Want to spice it up a bit? Why not throw in a packet of Mexican seasoning instead of the flour or try adding a few of your favourite herbs and spices. Don't be a chicken - experiment with some different flavours!

05.01.2022 #RecipeOfTheWeek Summer is always reminiscent of crisp cucumbers. If you grew up with a parent or grandparent that loved to pickle and make preserves then you may have had these before. They are also known as bread and butter cucumbers. If you prefer telegraph, apple or normal green cucumbers the recipe is the same. You don't have to use all of the herbs and spices listed, they are a guide. If you only have white vinegar that's ok too. NOTE: If you are not eating your pickl...ed cucumbers straight away then you will need to sterilise some jars. The easiest way to do this is wash and rinse your jar and place them in a 160C pre-heated oven one for at least 20 minutes. If the lids have an internal plastic coating don't put these in the oven but wash in hot water and let dry. If doing these for the weekly dinner they can be put into any container and stored in the fridge until finished. See more

01.01.2022 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly... Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. - In Flanders Fields, John McCrae (1914)
