THE CWA Day and Evening branches are collaborating to host an event specifically for the women of Gloucester. The night out is called the “The Little Black Dress”.

“There are not many opportunities in Gloucester for women to dress up,” said Barbara Reichert, a member of the CWA.

“The Little Black Dress night is a wonderful opportunity for women to wear their finest outfits.”

2025 will mark the third annual “Little Black Dress Night” fundraiser.

“The funds raised will help us maintain the local CWA hall,” Barbara told the News Of The Area.

“Although the larger CWA organisation owns the hall, each branch is responsible for its upkeep.

“This fundraiser will enable us to paint the rooms and keep the hall in good condition.”

Three local women will serve as guest speakers for the evening.

Georgia Laurie, who fondly remembers spending time at the CWA with her grandmother, will share her experiences as a young farmer, pilot, and cattle judge.

Donnelle Walker and Ella Ellis will discuss their stories of resilience.

The CWA will also provide dessert for attendees.

“Women of all ages are invited to join this event.

“It’s a chance for women to come together, hear local stories, support the CWA, and dress up.”

‘The Little Black Dress’ evening will take place at the Uniting Church Hall on Wednesday, March 12, beginning at 6:30pm.
