Members of the Canowindra CWA pictured with Alf Cantrell at the Central West Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Cabonne Volunteers Win Big: Yeoval local Alf Cantrell and the Canowindra Branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) were big winners at the Central West Volunteer of the Year Awards held last week at the Bathurst RSL. Canowindra Branch of the CWA were awarded the Volunteer Team of the Year. 

Cabonne Mayor Kevin Beatty congratulated the nominees and winners and said, “While I know that people choose to volunteer selflessly and without expectation of being recognised or rewarded, these awards help to do just that, recognise the importance of all our volunteers and their hard work, and help to encourage more community members to give their time.” 

Mr Cantrell and the Canowindra Branch of the CWA will be invited to the Gala State Ceremony for the announcement of the 2022 NSW Volunteer of the Year.
