CWA tea with Cunningham MP
Stanwell Park CWA held a morning tea with Alison Byrnes that included a lively discussion about local issues
By Jan Johnston of Stanwell Park CWA
In August the Stanwell Park branch celebrated International Day and our CWA birthday. This year our country of study was South Korea. We set the scene with Korean music, decorations and three courses of Korean food, which I can thoroughly recommend trying.
The highlight was a performance by Stanwell Park schoolchildren who stole the show with their play, costumes and fan dance.
Focus on Urgent Care Clinic at Corrimal
We also held a morning tea with our local Federal representative, Cunningham MP Alison Byrnes.
It was a lively discussion about a number of local issues. Topics ranged from a shortage of aged care places to summer parking congestion to cat control legislation at the local and state level.
An important takeaway I would like to advertise is the Federal Government’s Wollongong Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, which can be found within the Corrimal Medical and Dental Centre at 46-50 Underwood St (02 4258 0220). It’s open daily – 7am to 9pm, just walk in.
Also raised was a topic close to our heart at CWA – recycling. We plan to attend council events on FOGO and soft plastics recycling. Also mentioned was the recycling of medication bubble packs, which we will be following up.
Dressing up 1920s style
In September, we attended a Group Cultural Day at Albion Park. The theme was the 1920s so it was a great opportunity for us to raid the local charity shops and all look spectacular in sequinned and fringed dresses. Two imaginative members came in 1920s swimwear complete with floral caps and donut floaties. The presentation was well researched and thought provoking and supported with photos and film clips. A great day!
We can be found at 15 The Drive Stanwell Park at 10am on the first Tuesday of the month and everyone is most welcome.
