RSL ANZAC DAY GOLF AND BOWLS TOURNAMENT<br />
Over the past few months Girgarre RSL<br />
members have been kept very busy. Under<br />
the leadership of Rob Axen members have<br />
installed a “you-beaut” kitchen in the club<br />
rooms. This indeed will not only be a great<br />
benefit to the RSL but to the community in<br />
general. The upgrade would not have been<br />
possible without the support of Rushworth Bendigo Bank,<br />
Bunnings Echuca (Mrs. Anne Brown), Knights Building Supplies,<br />
Plumbtec, Ryan Demasi and Reg Ramage. Thank you<br />
for your support.<br />
On Anzac morning over 100 people attended a very<br />
moving dawn service with President Laurie Young<br />
conducting the service. Robyn Hunt led with prayers for the<br />
fallen and for peace. Maureen Shepherd recited a very<br />
moving poem and Jeff Bray played the “Last Post” and<br />
Reveille. The Australian and New Zealand flags were raised<br />
by the Girgarre Primary School Captains to the tunes of the<br />
National Anthems.<br />
After the service wreaths were laid by the Stanhope RSL<br />
President, Philip Chapman and Girgarre RSL President, Laurie<br />
Young, Shire of Campaspe Councilor John Zobec and the general<br />
public. Everyone enjoyed the ‘Gunfire’ breakfast<br />
prepared by Bernie and Dale.<br />
Later in the day RSL members in association with<br />
Valley View Golf and Bowls Club conducted very successful<br />
competitions which would not have been possible without<br />
the support from 26 district sponsors. Girgarre RSL are very<br />
grateful for their donations and sincerely thank you.<br />

on Sunday 28th April. Wreaths were laid at the Stanhope<br />
cenotaph followed by the service and a talk from Major Peter<br />
Powles regarding health issues of those who have served<br />
their nation which was very informative. Followed by<br />
afternoon tea. (Bill Perry)<br />
