DAWN PARADE PARADE and SERVICE LUNCHEON WREATH LAYING CEREMONY
Dawn Parade
The Dawn Service will be held at the Memorial in the War Memorial Grounds [Showgrounds] and will commence at 0520. We will have service sheets this year so bring a light and participate in the service.
Parade and Service
The Main Parade will be as it was last year. Form up will be at the hotel at 9.00a.m.and the march will begin at 9.30a.m. sharp and proceed to the school.. Buses will again be available to transport people to the Monument at the War Memorial Grounds [Showgrounds] for the service to commence at 10.00a.m., or alternatively a short walk from the school through Tullamore Park will get you to the Monument in time for the service.
The buses will be provided by Brisbane Bus Lines and the drivers will give their time as well, so thanks to Dale Tokley and the drivers from Brisbane Bus Lines.
The buses will also be available for anyone wanting to leave their cars at the War Memorial Grounds and be transported to the march and returned to the Memorial for the service after the parade. This will allow people wishing to stay for the luncheon to have their vehicles available to be able to leave at their leisure. The buses will leave to transport people to the parade at 9.10 sharp.
Luncheon
We would again like to invite everybody to attend the luncheon after the Service. To cover the costs of the luncheon, donations have been received from the Dayboro Apex Club and the Dayboro & Districts Junior Rugby League Sporting Club and the Dayboro Rodeo Association. A 2 up game will be held at the hotel starting at 0130. All proceeds will go to the War Memorial Association.
Wreath Laying Ceremony
Organisations or private people wanting to lay a wreath please contact Bill Rowe on 34251146 or Richard Hawkins on 32899208. Private people wishing to lay a wreath, can, if desired state the person it is memory of and it will be announced when the person is called forward. This extends the time taken for the wreath laying ceremony but we think the extra time taken is worth it. Due to lack of flowers available at this time of year it would be appreciated if the person or organisation could supply their own wreath.
