ANZAC DAY 2022
It was a humbling turn out on a rainy dawn at The Bert Crook Memorial at Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL Club, as our community gathered to commemorate this Anzac Day.
Speakers and performers of all ages joined us to contribute their stories, insights, and words of remembrance. We are thankful for our younger generations for their respect, and for playing their part in continuing the legacy of our heroes past and present.
Guests joined us afterward for our gunfire breakfast in The Arena, and in the afternoon Members and visitors enjoyed an afternoon of great food, free entertainment, 2UP and BIG screen footy. With funds being raised in our community raffles.
