25.01.2022 Today we had a visit from Jennifer Loupis from AKWAK Aussie Knitters for War Affected Kids. The children are in camps in the snow in winter with not many facilities. Our knitters have made hot water bottle covers which will be sent in a large container with bundles of clothes for (hopefully) each child.

25.01.2022 Meet Eileen Bedford and Audrey Hardie.Eileen joined the CWA in 1984 after attending a concert put on by the CWA. She moved to Umina the same year and has lived here ever since. Knitting and crochet have been her favourite things to do. Companions are easily found here to talk with. She is the Patron of this branch. Audrey joined this branch 5 years ago to make new friends. She called in after seeing our signs and now she no longer lonely. After coming up here for holidays she's now living here permanently. Eileen has taught Audrey to knit and she's enjoying all aspects of our group even the new movie club.

25.01.2022 Meet Jenny Dos Santos our craft officer. Jenny retired to Umina in 2017 from Sydney. This is her third year in this role. As a new recruit to quilting it’s her favourite thing to do at the moment. Knitting and sewing are her other loves. She is happy to share her expertise with anyone who would like to learn. Jenny joined the CWA to make friends after her move here. That’s certainly happening at our meetings on Wednesday’s at 9.30am.

18.01.2022 Here’s an easy Sunday recipe from a Cookbook produced by the Finley Scots Church in the 1960s. In those days it was called goulash however it’s more a chow mein. Delicious, easy and full of vegetables. You can add more beans or carrots. Delicious served with a crusty bread roll. If you wish to make it gluten free replace the chicken noodle soup by making the water into chicken stock with 3 stock cubes and after it is cooked add one packet of Chang’s Gluten free fried noodles.
