Narromine and Trangie branches of the Country Women's Association (CWA) joined forces once again earlier this month to host children from around the CWA Far Western Group at the group's annual public speaking competition.
Almost 50 children attended the event at the Narromine USMC on Tuesday, May 19, with more expected but unable to make it due to the rain, according to Narromine CWA president, Gabrielle Teale-McEvoy.
"It was a great day – very difficult to judge!" she told Dubbo Photo News.
The event is very popular among the schools within the Far Western Group catchment, with some travelling long distances to attend.
Trangie CWA members staffed the entry table and took photos at the event, while Narromine CWA provided the catering and coordination for the day.
