The kettle will be warm and the cakes ready for the Eynesbury Biggest Morning Tea.

Running for the sixth year, the morning tea raises funds for the Cancer Council which will go towards vital cancer research, prevention programs and advocacy.

One of the organisers, Anne Warren, said the event was a really community event.

“There’s six of us ladies who organise it each year,” she said. “Last year we had about 70 people and it was a really big event with morning tea into lunch.”

The group raised more than $12,000 last year, their biggest amount they’ve raised.

This year the group is focusing on just morning tea instead of the bigger event like they held last year.

There will be raffles and games to raise money, along with plenty of cuppas, food, smiles and laughs.

Ms Warren said they would be aiming to raise $6000 this year, but with money tight for many people at the moment they don’t know what to expect.

Entry to the morning is $25 which includes entry and a ticket into the door prize.

Guests are encouraged to bring along gold coins to be involved with the raffles and the games.

The Eynesbury Biggest Morning tea will be held on May 1 at the Eynesbury Discovery Centre from 11am.

Entry is via ticket only.
