🎉 90 YEARS OF CWA CYGNET… AND WE’RE BRINGING BACK A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY! 🐴🎂

1936 was a pretty special year for Cygnet.

It was the year our CWA Branch was established, and 90 years later, we’re getting ready to celebrate in true country style! ❤️

We’ve got LOTS of activities, competitions, entertainment and good old-fashioned fun planned for our 90th Birthday Celebrations, and over the coming weeks we’ll be revealing what’s in store.

But first, we’re kicking things off by bringing back a little bit of tradition…

🐴🏆 THE GREAT CWA CYGNET HOBBY HORSE COMPETITION! 🏆🐴

That’s right!

It’s time to dust off those creative skills, raid the craft cupboard and get busy making your very own traditional hobby horse!

We’re inviting everyone, young and not-so-young, to get involved.

🏅 Competition categories:
🐴 Under 12
🐴 Open
🐴 Seniors

Whether your horse is a magnificent thoroughbred, a slightly wonky pony or something that looks like it escaped from Grandma’s sewing basket, we want to see it! 😂

Make it. Decorate it. Name it. Bring it along and compete!

📅 Sunday 29 November 2026
⏰ 10.00 am – 3.00 pm
📍 Burtons Reserve, Cygnet

This is just the FIRST of many exciting announcements as we prepare to celebrate 90 years of friendship, community and kindness.

More details about the competition, the day’s events and how to participate will be announced soon.

❤️ 90 years of CWA Cygnet. Keeping traditions alive and making new memories!

📣 Tag someone who needs to start making their hobby horse, and share this post to help us spread the word!

How awesome is this

Yesterday I got to deliver the donated TM6 I arranged for CWA Cygnet / Food for Community.

It is so to meet these amazing women and be able to help in a small way.

Thank you Thermomix for making this possible 💕

Thank you so much Thermie and Friends - Janine Smith and Ayelet Anush
