Remembrance day 2020

Remembrance Day 2020

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front after the bloodshed of World War 1. Over the past century, this moment has been adopted across the globe as a time to remember those who served and sacrificed in all wars and conflicts.

This year we will be hosting a very limited Remembrance Day Service at the entrance to the venue at 10.45am sharp. Please be aware of social gathering restrictions, and keep your social distance.

There will be no refreshments as we have done in the past, and unfortunately not everyone will be able to enter that RSL at the conclusion to the Service due to the restrictions on numbers allowed in the venue. We apologise for this, but it is out of our control.

DONATE TODAY… If you would like to donate to this years Poppy appeal, please donate directly to our RSL, or alternatively, there will be Poppy’s available for sale on Remembrance Day at the entrance to the club.

If you would like to donate, please deposit into the following account;
