ANZAC Day 2022 For Odd Bods

2019 ANZAC Day March in Melbourne


As 25th April rolls around again, we can expect a return to ANZAC Day marches around Australia including the famous march up St.Kilda Rd. to the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance. 

The Odd Bods will be holding their post march ANZAC Day reunion in 2022 and the following email has been sent to all members. 

"Dear Friends,

We are pleased to confirm arrangements for this year’s ANZAC Day reunion and a return to some normality with the Odd Bods banner participating in the traditional march to the shrine. 

Our booking for the Amora Hotel in Richmond on Monday 25th April has been confirmed, and you can now book your attendance. The cost will be $48 per head which is a modest 7% increase on recent years.

Details of the Reunion Luncheon and an application form are attached, and will also be available on our website. We have nominated a closing date of 22nd April which will hopefully give veterans the flexibility they require as we get closer to ANZAC Day. Due to new vehicle restrictions, taxis and private vehicles will not be given access to the shrine precinct this year. March participants will need to make their own way to the reunion lunch.

Wesley College have confirmed that their ANZAC service will be held 11:30 am Thursday 28th April and we expect details soon including presentation of the George V. Smith Award. 

We look forward to seeing you on Anzac Day and in the meantime if you have any queries please direct them to your Committee Members.

Best Wishes

Bruce

FRIENDS OF THE ODD BODS ASSOCIATION INC."
