“Magnifique” — Warren CWA France International Day feast WITH France the f lavourof-the-month following the recent Paris Olympics, it was only to be expected that Warren CWA’s recent International Day was aptly-described as “Magnifique”. Held at Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre last Friday, the event featured the best of gallic culture for both members and visitors to enjoy. Warren local CWA (Country Women’s Assocation), as well as Trangie and Narromine members and guests, gathered to sample fi ne French cuisine and to learn more about the culture of this iconic nation that has given the world so much. Helping to celebrate the 2024 Games, the day also included reminiscence on all things French by Sharon McCalman speaking about her time in Paris and regional France around 1985; followed up by Jill Robards and her visit a few years later; before a more-contemporary talk by Pauline Serdity then who made a trip to the City of Lights, earlier this year. A display table was also setup to show a range of historical events of France, and information of how The Rooster is the national symbol, and the Iris the national flower. Also discussed was French contri-

bution to art, science and culture, including Marie Curie and Joan of Arc. Judie Sturtevant also knitted a beret in the colours of the French Flag — blue, white, and red — to wear on the day. Highlight of the celebration was a delicious four-course luncheon, all cooked and supplied by the local CWA ladies that comprised: f A cheese platter, featuring various cheeses, macarons, strawberries, and crackers (as French people enjoy lots of lovely cheeses); f French onion soup; f Mains: Beef Bourguignon, Chicken Coq au Vin, Quiche Lorraine, all served with potato and French bread. f Desserts: crepes; eclairs; cheesecake; custard tarts, and fresh fruit. The two raffle prizes were French Champagne (of course!), and were won by Kath Bennett of Trangie, with the French perfume prize won by Ruth Hando on Narromine. The lucky door prize of French chocolates — Ferrero Rocher — was won by Jean Richardson of Narromine. The day was very successful, and everyone present had a wonderful French celebration. Hourah!
