Members intending to march in Brisbane on Anzac Day should note that this year the National Service
contingent has been moved up to position 104. In previous years we have been at 146, this year we will move
off approximately 45 minutes earlier – Don’t be late.
BUNDABERG (Meeting: 2nd Saturday each month 1330 hours. Venue: Bundaberg RSL)
Bundaberg Branch Members of the NSAAQ
attended their Christmas 2009 BBQ at Baldwin
Wetlands picnic shed with the usual number in
attendance. A different crew of volunteers did the
cooking and washing up details this year. Thanks
to the women who as usual provided great salads
and sweets. The attached photo shows the 2009
Committee members at the Christmas BBQ. The
December Saturday morning RSL Raffles were
again well handled by our members. The Branch
also took and sold 1000 tickets in the Statewide
NSAAQ Christmas Hampers Raffle and were
rewarded with 3 of the 10 prizes coming back to
the area and which were delivered by Santa-
President John. The funds generated by these two
efforts will hopefully go well towards running the branch for 2010. Don't forget we need a new Committee to
be elected at the AGM on 13th. March at the usual place and time.
