BEALIBA CWA UPDATE

May has been a busy month for the branch.

Firstly, we had the East Wimmera Cra Exhibi on in Charlton and then our Interna onal Day. It is pleasing to report that everyone who entered the Exhibi on won a prize, of some descrip on, for one or more of their entries. Our overall tally at the Exhibi on was certainly boosted by our Juniors, Morgan and Lexie Lea-Brightwell who won numerous prizes.

Warmest congratula ons to Morgan who won the award for the most outstanding Junior entry under 12 and then followed that up by winning the most outstanding entry by a Junior aged 13-18 and under. Well done, girls.

This year our country of study was Namibia and our Interna onal Officer, Jan Murphy, supplied us with all manner of recipes for ‘authen c’ Namibian dishes. Some, I’d have to say, are probably an acquired taste. Whilst many are based on German dishes, tradi onal food such as zebra and the mopane caterpillar (which, I’m told, tastes like peanuts) is s ll eaten. Supply issues, readers will appreciate, prevented members from being overly adventurous in their choice of a dish to share. Nonetheless, we did enjoy a lovely lunch with our guests.

Later, the Bealiba school children joined us and presented their project on Namibia. This included a great diorama of animals found in Namibia. Many thanks to the teachers and students for all their hard work.

The CWA State Conference is fast approaching and will be a ended by Pam Brightwell and Barbara Douglass.

At the conference Pam will officially take over as the East Wimmera Group President. We wish her and Jenny Lovel (the Group Secretary) well in these roles. Di o for Barbara who will be the new East Wimmera Cra Leader.

I think I have been watching too many old series on commercial TV. It is rather fun picking out actors when they were young and just star ng out. But on the downside, there are the endless ads.

One of my favourites is the insurance one where a bath bomb pre y much wrecks the house, with the lady who is li ed out by helicopter.

The agent says she did not have a worry in the world, un l she lands somewhere, wakes up and finds she is in her bath suit.

I would also like to know how that girl who slurps her thick pumpkin soup does so without ge ng it on her lips or teeth.

I set the fire this morning and lit it when the evening got cool. It wasn't drawing well so I turned on the fan. It did not work! Catastrophe! The only way to be warmed by a wood burner without a fan is to sit on it. This is not really feasible. A er a bit of experimen ng, I found that the power board was not working. Found another one and there was warmth.
