Local Forum: The CBPA will be holding the second forum of the year on Wednesday 18th May at 7pm at Canowindra Services Club.

The CBPA think this is a great way to assist in promoting hospitality in Canowindra, with all of the great produce on offer and compliments the Christmas shopping promotion perfectly. The forum is a session for all interested members of the hospitality community to attend and discuss how this can work to suit all members.
