ANZAC Day 2011

Thanks to everyone who made it to our ANZAC Day event this year. We had about 90 people attend. We had a lovely memorial ceremony followed by a hot breakfast which included ANZAC bickies, lammingtons, Freddo Frogs, Minties, Fantales, TimTams, Bundy Rum (gunfire coffee) and VB. Breakfast was followed by charity two-up and a great time was had by all. Thanks again to Deno and Trevor for doing an excellent job in organizing the event and thanks to the RCR for allowing us to use their facilities. Thank you to all the people who helped out and especially to Counsellor Winton Holmes from the New Zealand High Commission for attending and participating in our ceremony.

They shall grow not old,

Nor the years condemn.

And in the morning
We will remember them.
