This will take place in the form of a private and shortened Anzac Ceremony (consisting of only our Executive) at Auburn Memorial Park and Davey Square Reserve as well as wreaths being laid at each memorial within our (Cumberland) district. We ask that you please pass this information on to sub-Branch members to assist us in keeping everyone informed during this time of uncertainty. Please stay safe and remember that should you require support or assistance, we are here and working in different ways to ensure we fulfil our commitment to not only our members but also the Veteran community.
