Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Sunday 8 March started off grey skies, and inclement weather. Not to be daunted, the Forrest Beach QCWA ladies were busy bringing the QCWA Hall to life ready for the serving of a sumptuous Devonshire Tea - a classic - tea, scones, jam and cream. And it was not long before guests arrived - in fact over 35 people signed in for the Sunday treat.
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day has been around for over 100 years, as have many of the issues still impacting women's advancement. Forrest Beach QCWA members marked International Women's Day by celebrating women's achievements, supporting women-focused charities like the Country Women’s Association, and giving back to the community in appreciation for its support in 2025.
The morning was certainly busy, with plates of scones rapidly disappearing as guests enjoyed the ambience. Some took the opportunity for a memorable photo or to browse through the library or to catch up on the display of the services FBQCWA offers to the community. Sincere gratitude is felt for the many donations made by satisfied customers as they left the Hall comfortably satiated.
Contributed with thanks by Beverley Hulme, branch treasurer of the QCWA Forrest Beach.
