East Maitland CWA president, Doris Bates, said the association of 31 is always looking for new women to join and there are no requirements, everyone is welcome.

"With CWA there's something for everybody, if you want to be active you can be active, and if you just want to come and have a chat you're welcome to come have a chat," Ms Bates said.

There are four CWA branches in our area, East Maitland, Maitland City, Maitland City Evening and Morpeth.
