The Bangalow Sub Branch of the NSW RSL have announced their plans for commemorating Anzac Day on 25 April.

The march will step off from the Bangalow Hotel at 10.45am sharp, with a service and wreath laying ceremony to happen at the RSL Hall in Station Street Bangalow at 11am.

Secretary Col Draper says all are welcome, and ‘we’ll boil the billy’, with Bangalow Lions supplying a BBQ.

Appropriate floral tributes will be recycled to Feros Bangalow at sunset.

Over in Clunes, the service will begin at 9am on the Village Green. Clunes fire station volunteers will be catering. All welcome.
