Interest builds in a Rokewood CWA branch

Ten people registered interest in forming a Country Women's Association branch at Rokewood during a market in July, the Golden Plains Times reports. Ballarat CWA district president Rhonda O'Brien said she hoped to establish a group for the town as soon as possible, noting the district raised more than $35,000 last year for vulnerable women and children. A new Ballarat Central branch, the first for that area in three years, will hold its first meeting on 11 August at Hugh Williamson House from 7pm.
