THE Castlemaine CWA is in danger of folding, thanks to new room rental charges from the Mount Alexander Shire.
The CWA branch has been told it must cough up more than $2500 if it wants to continue using the Ray Bradfield room for meetings and events.
Castlemaine CWA president Allison Nye said the group only made about $500 and the new room charges were out of its reach.
"We're all a bit disgusted," she said.
"It's outrageous really.
"We've never been charged for the room before and now they want us to pay $2777.50 for the year.
"Every dollar we get is what we actually have to earn so it's up to us to either cook a lot of scones or, I don't know, maybe do nude calendars for the next 15 years.
"It's looking pretty impossible at this stage."
