Berrigan CWA members held a very successful stall at the recent Market Night.
The ladies were pleased that all the cooking was sold.
Evelyn Reynoldson made the fruit cake for the raffle, and the lucky recipient was Marion Dickins.
Marion herself is a very good fruit cake maker but she was pleased to have this cake.
Members have not been able to reach the winner of the Christmas pudding.
The name on the ticket was Josh Lyons. If anyone knows that person/family, could you please contact Jenny Coldwell, Beth Rendell or Kate Hawkins so that we can get this pudding to them before Christmas.
“We trust all our community families have a safe and happy Christmas and New Year,” the CWA said.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at the Australia Day breakfast at the CWA Rooms, as it is Berrigan's turn to hold the shire celebrations in 2023.”
