“People who move to the Central West are often looking for a community to belong to, and this is really something that Orange has to offer. This casual get-together is the chance for people to hear about local groups and clubs and connect with them.”

Lawn games and children’s activities are also planned.

“It can be hard for people to relocate somewhere; it is important to have human connections, and this event, held in an informal and relaxed environment, might be the start of beautiful new friendships,” Cr Power said.

The Orange Botanic Gardens Function Centre is located at 300 Hill Street, Orange. The event is free, booking are required: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/welcome-to-orange-tickets-717605095157?aff=oddtdtcreator
