CCFA News 2010
For the past 5 years members of the CCFA have regularly attended the Coffs Harbour Car Market at the Showground with their BBQ.
The BBQ is the regular public face of Freemasonry in District 53.
Proceeds from the BBQ at the Showgrounds and other functions is the primary fund raising activity for the CCFA.
It is also an ideal place to showcase Masons at work in the community. Men who are interested in Freemasonry
are able to speak to Masons and several new members have been gained through the BBQ.
