Communities come together as<br />
ANZAC DAY was one of<br />
remembrance for many who<br />
turned out to the range of<br />
parades and ceremonies across<br />
the district.<br />
Rolleston’s new Anzac venue<br />
was considered a success<br />
following its trial at the new<br />
town centre venue.<br />
Anzac committee chair,<br />
Greg Knowles said he had<br />
overwhelmingly<br />
positive feedback<br />
from those who<br />
attended, with<br />
many saying it<br />
was the town’s<br />
best Anzac<br />
service yet.<br />
“The expanse<br />
of the new town<br />
centre allowed<br />
the community<br />
Greg<br />
Knowles<br />
to spread out 360 degrees around<br />
the central hub of the service and<br />
a highlight for organisers was<br />
the sight of families setting up,<br />
complete with picnic blankets,”<br />
Knowles said.<br />
Lincoln community Anzac<br />
Day service committee<br />
spokesperson Ian Collins said<br />
he was pleased to see the youth<br />
involvement, with students<br />
from Lincoln Primary, Ararira<br />
Springs Primary, and Lincoln<br />
High all having parts to play<br />
in the service at Lincoln War<br />
Memorial.<br />
