A beautiful sunny day in Melbourne greeted Friends of the Odd Bods for today's march and the day just got better with a successful reunion luncheon at the Amora Hotel in Richmond.
Marchers behind the Odd Bods banner included Wing Commander Mike Oram who has seen plenty of media attention this week in his role as ANZAC Ambassador for the Melbourne Football Club.
At the reunion we were honoured with the presence of veterans Doug Parry and Maurie Smith and as you would expect the conversations were informative, and entertaining with no shortage of humour. Guests were treated to a photographic presentation of some key Odd Bods events and personalities over the last 70 or so years which stimulated plenty of discussion.
Our President, Bruce Waxman, was absent due to a pre-arranged boat trip off the Kimberley Coast, however, Vice-President Peter Randell handled the reunion event admirably, and also presented Bruce's ANZAC Day speech.
We have included some photos in this article and will add more over the next few days. A short video of the march has been added to our facebook page - Enjoy!
Wonderful photos of both The March, the wreath laying at our Odd Bods plaque and the Reunion luncheon gathering. So pleased that two of our wonderful Veterans were able to attend.
