Association seeks stolen flags

The Woy Woy branch of the Country Women's Association has had both its flags stolen from its flagpoles.

"We arrived at our hall to find our two flags were stolen," said branch president Ms Jane Bowtell.

"We take great pride in being able to fly both the aboriginal flag and the Australian flag side-by-side and to see them taken from our grounds is disappointing and saddening to all of our members.

"If you know anything about who may have taken the flags, or are the person responsible, please come forward.

"We would love to take them back and to raise them again.

"We are the only organisation or business in the immediate area that flies both flags and it is hugely important to us that we keep them flying.

"We won't ask any questions, and will just be glad to have them back," Ms Bowtell said.

The branch is a self-funding voluntary community group.
