Community members and staff gathered on Thursday, May 21, to enjoy a spread prepared by club workers and volunteers.
The cause was especially important for the staff this year as one of their own who had previously played an active role in the fundraiser was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Angela Parker and Kayla Len were among the attendees.

General manager Erin Langman, who has been with the club since its first Biggest Morning Tea, said the event continued to receive strong community support.
“It went really well,” she said.
“It's an honour... We all know someone that has been affected.
“Staff are always actively involved... everyone takes pride in the dishes they make.”

Despite slightly lower attendance due to several other morning teas being held across the region, the atmosphere and community spirit remained strong.
Staff members continued the tradition of friendly competition over who had prepared the most popular dishes, helping make the event another success.
Ms Langman thanked past and present staff members who had contributed to the event over the years and helped build it into a valued annual fundraiser for the club and community.
The morning tea was well attended.
