DAILY TELEGRAPH GETS RESULTS

God bless the hard-working women of the CWA

Following is a Daily Telegraph editorial from earlier this month.

The brief yet powerfully influential item ran on April 7:

If yesterday’s happy crowds are any sign, the Sydney Royal Easter Show is as popular in 2017 as it has been at any time in its near-two centuries of glorious history.

Interestingly, many of the most popular exhibits are also some of the more traditional. The Country Women’s Association Tea Room inside the Home, Garden and Lifestyle Pavilion was doing a roaring trade, with lots of attendees purchasing tea-towels bearing an excellent scone recipe.

The Royal Easter Show is a wonderful spectacle for young and old alike. Drop by this weekend and say hello to the CWA ladies.

A press release from the Royal Easter Show now reports:

It has been a “scone-a-thon” for The Country Women’s Association Tea Room which is on target to smash the Sydney Royal Easter Show scone sale record with more than 50,000 scones expected to be sold.

Rising by more than 4,000 scones sold daily, the Tea Room soared past the 2015 record of 49,512 after cutting it close in 2016 selling 49,100.

Chairman of the NSW State Show Committee, Carol Vincent, said the CWA Tea Room has been a recipe for success in its 70th year the at the Show, with Showgoers literally running to be first in line each morning.

We’re claiming at least a partial scone credit for this.
