Bega has been chosen as the town to host the NSW Rural Women's Gathering in 2005.

Gatherings are prestigious events which aim to provide opportunities for rural women to learn from inspirational speakers, to attend workshops, to exchange information,views and ideas and to have fun.

The Women's Gathering in 2005 will allow us to reflect the unique culture, industry, tourist attractions and pristine environment of the Bega Valley and the Nature Coast.

There will be a variety of guest speakers, wonderful entertainment, great food, and an on site market of produce and services for health, wealth and well being.

Coonabarabran 2004 A terrific picture story from that event.

Our motto for 2005

"Be all that we can be"

Our potential is tremendous - our desire for life, immense.

Alone, it is a challenge to maintain our vigour when shopping and children and career and home is all we can think of. It is through our network, our sharing, our 'we' that each of us is made better. It is through the strength of 'us' that our children will learn, our communities will grow and ultimately, as individuals, we will become all that we can be.
