Dec2013_REMEMBRANCE DAY 2013
On behalf of The Dayboro War Memorial Association I would like to thank everyone who participated during the service and Paul Stanton and everyone who helped with the setting up and removal of the shade structures and seating. The 5 Dayboro school students, Jacob, Kira, Pim and Torin, who recited the Ode and poems and narrated a press article from 1917 and Abby, who played the Last Post and Reveille are an absolute credit to themselves, the school and their parents.
I would also like to thank Lion Ian Flinders for his technical expertise in setting up and providing music for the service and the Lions for providing the P.A. system, the Show Society for providing shade structures, tables and chairs and Niel Rowe for maintaining the gardens around the Cenotaph during the dry weather.
The refreshments after the service were provided by George Hartnett Funerals so thank you Patsy Cains and Scott and Virginia from the bakery for organising that. It is appreciated.
Richard Hawkins, Chairman,
Dayboro War Memorial Association.
(Our unofficial ‘crowd counter’ let us know that there were 95 people in attendance at the service – plus many others who stood over the road, on the footpath in front of the Dayboro Bakery. Ed.)
