PLEASE NOTE:   For our meeting on the 24th April (being the day before ANZAC Day) we are going to assemble a little earlier at 5.45 pm (before it gets dark), at  The Memorial opposite the RSA at the end of Oxford Street.   Here we will remember the occasion with a few words and the Ode of Remembrance, and a wreath laying.     We'll return to the  Bowling Club about 6.15, for a slightly later dinner time of 6.30 p.m.   Poppies will be available.
