The Biggest Morning Tea co-hosted by Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (PM-HC) on Thursday 28 May raised $500 for the Cancer Council. More than 30 elderly local residents attended and a similar number of CSU students enjoyed the morning tea which was served by members of the Student Representative Council. CSU student liaison officer Ms Clara Koch said, "The co-hosted morning tea was a delightful event. The University encourages its staff and students to participate in community and charity events as a practical demonstration of its commitment to the health and welfare of our communities. The associated inaugural cup cake competition between the University and the Council to see whose personnel can bake the best cup cake was fun, despite Council winning first, second and third places. The University's cake bakers will strive to improve their cup cakes next year!" The judges for the competition's final tasting (pictured) were Head of Campus, Professor Heather Cavanagh, the Mayor, Councillor Peter Bessling, and the president of the Country Women's Association branch in Port Macquarie, Ms Alice Miller.
