At branch level CWA has a diverse range of interests for its members with the study of a county each year and this year it will be New Guinea.
It also has a cultural and handicraft section and each year it studies a primary product as well as its flora and fauna. CWA raises money for various charities.
Nyngan CWA catered for the Far Western Group conference on Saturday, October 13 with members from other branches coming to Nyngan for a day of discussion and decisions.
Nyngan CWA will be holding a street stall on Friday, October 19 with raffles and goodies for sale. Your support would be greatly appreciated.
