ANZAC Day Arrangements 2023

Friends of the Odd Bods Association Inc. - ANZAC Day 2023

A Letter From Our President

Dear Friends,

               We are pleased to confirm arrangements for this year’s ANZAC Day reunion and our participation in the traditional march to the shrine.

               Our booking for the Amora Hotel in Richmond on Tuesday 25^th April has been confirmed, and you can now book your attendance. The cost will be $48 per head which is the same as last year.

Details of the Reunion Luncheon and an application form are available by clicking on the TAB at the top of this page (see above). We have nominated a closing date of 22nd April which will hopefully give veterans the flexibility they require as we get closer to ANZAC Day. Due to new vehicle restrictions, taxis and private vehicles will not be given access to the shrine precinct. March participants will need to make their own way to the reunion lunch.

At this year’s reunion we will be screening a selection of photographs from the Odd Bods archives including past ANZAC marches, reunions, special Odd Bods events, and of course, the veterans themselves. If you have photographs you would like to submit for the presentation, please email them to us or MMS from your mobile phone to Greg Smith on 0406222020.

Wesley College have confirmed that their ANZAC service will be held Thursday 27 April at 11.30am with a morning tea beforehand at 11.00am. The George V. Smith Award for the best student essay about the Spirit of ANZAC will be presented at that service.

We look forward to seeing you on Anzac Day and in the meantime if you have any queries please direct them to Peter Randell (0410271941), Gary Elliott (0418523974), or Greg Smith (0406222020).

 I will be absent for both events as I will be on a cruise between Darwin and Broome and but will lead a ‘march’ on board ship on Anzac Day.

Best Wishes

Bruce
