Somersby Branch

Welcome to The Somersby Branch

Would you like to join a branch of CWA that has a very long history? Then come along to the School Of Arts Hall Wisemans Ferry Rd Somersby (next to Somersby Primary School). We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 1pm.

Whether your interests are baking, handicraft, learning about international cultures and lifestyles, our agriculture and environment, or just to meet like-minded ladies in a social and very friendly manner, we have something for you. But be aware, your membership with Somersby CWA Branch brings with it lots of fun and laughter and occasionally stepping “outside the square”.

Recent photo of CWA of NSW Somersby Branch member, Liz Lazaroni, with students at Somersby Public school. The school has a close association with the CWA members as students are mentored and encouraged to gain skills in the kitchen. These boys and girls are proudly presenting their entries into the cookery competition.

Another example of the role CWA plays in local communities.

Our strong involvement with the little Somersby School has members going into the school and teaching senior students the art of baking. This program has recently seen our introduction of this program into the nearby Kariong High School. We are very pleased that some of our students have entered the CWA Land Baking Competition and had success at both district and state levels.

Local markets have been a great opportunity to showcase the wonderful handicrafts and baking created by members and enables us to raise funds for many worthwhile community charities and causes.

We like to do lunches. Australia Day, Melbourne Cup, Branch International Days, Cultural Days, we do them all with great enthusiasm. So come along and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Regular Meetups

2nd Wednesday, 1pm

Perhaps you may be thinking of joining the CWA.

There are a diverse range of activities for you to be involved in, offering something for everyone:

There is an annual study of International, Agriculture and Environmental topics which offer an opportunity to share your knowledge (and research with our ladies).
You may be keen to meet with like-minded members on cultural subjects, such as photography, story writing, painting, and arts and crafts.
Our cookery, handicrafts and recycling items have become the staple of our fundraising efforts.

Competitions are also held within the CWA and are carried out annually to enable you the opportunity to compete and learn, at both Branch and State levels. A number of these competitions are also open to non-members, an ideal opportunity for you family and non-family to join in as well.

Perhaps you are a fabulous organiser. Maybe you have retired yet still feel you have much more to give? Do you have skills to take on an office bearer role and represent our branch as a Delegate, to attend conferences, and to vote for motions to be presented to parliament, so we can better the community.

And last but not least, to have fun and make lifelong friends.

So come along, have a cuppa and a chat and join us at Somersby, we look forward to meeting you.
