Copious amounts of tea, scones, cake and slices are on offer with all proceeds going to the Cancer Council.
Secretary to the Millthorpe CWA branch, Susan Chudleigh stated that at some point in our lives we have all been touched by someone with cancer.
“It is vitally important that we all continue to raise money for research into cures for many types of Cancer,” Mrs Chudleigh said.
“There is still a long way to go and everyone is affected by this insidious disease.”
Volunteers building the wall
The trenches have been dug, cement poured and the work is beginning to take shape for Millthorpe’s very own Stone Wall.
Even make shift signs designed by Sam Yeates have been erected to warn traffic of workman ahead and the volunteers are lining up by the dozens to build Millthorpe’s Stone Wall.
Speaking on site, the founder of the wall, Sam Yeates mentioned that Orange Mini Concrete very kindly donated the concrete and the truck.
“Laying the groundwork for Millthorpe’s new venture are some exceptional local community members and we are very grateful for all their support,” Mr Yeates said.
“Digging the initial trenches we had a good team with Peter Whiley, Sophie and Tom Campbell and their children,
“Matt from the bottom pub, Sue and Bruce and the late comer Nick Debere.
“Pouring the concrete was the team of Tony Wise and the infamous jack-of-all trades Gerry Faulkiner.
“We still have a lot to do but it is taking shape.
“Christine Hindmarsh is kindly donating the stones and we would be very grateful for more volunteers in the coming weeks.”
The Stone Wall club is waiting on the cut blue stone from Blayney Shire Council to proceed to the next stages.
