OTU VICTORIAN CHAPTER – PARTICIPATION IN 2026 ANZAC DAY MARCH TO THE
SHRINE OF REMEMBRANCE AND MIXED LUNCHEON
Dear Victorian Scheyvillian,
The OTU Association will, once again, be parading as a separate unit in this year’s ANZAC Day march to Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance. To all Scheyvillians the march presents an opportunity to be part of this great Australian tradition.
We would be keen indeed to have you join us.
The details are as follows: –
Dress. Suit/Jacket and tie – preferably the OTU tie if possible.
Medals. Please wear all medals you have been awarded.
Assembly. The RSL advises we are to assemble on the Southern side of Flinders Street to the West of Swanston Street at 0830 hrs for an 0925 hrs march off.
It is strongly urged we gather at the assembly point before time as, on some earlier occasions, the Parade has left earlier.
RSL Marshals will direct you to the precise location. Our contingent will be behind the National Servicemen’s Association.
After the March. We will once again be a having mixed get together after the march. This will be held at the RACV Bistro, RACV Club, 501 Bourke St, Melbourne 1200 hrs for 1230 hrs. (Tel 9944 8888). Enter via the front door. Tram No. 58, caught in St. Kilda Road, will carry marchers from the Shrine to the Club.
A fine two course menu along with selected beers, house wines, soft drinks, tea and coffee has been ordered.
The luncheon price will be $70.00 per head with payment required before the event. Please note the cost for this gathering allows for the RACV charging a 15% surcharge to cover additional public holiday expenses. The full price on the day will be subsidised from our funds.
