OTU ASSOCIATION

VICTORIAN CHAPTER

 

  OTU VICTORIAN CHAPTER – PARTICIPATION IN 2019 ANZAC DAY MARCH TO THE SHRINE OF REMEMBRANCE

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.We are to assemble on  the South side of Flinders Street at the Western side of Swanston Street (just outside the station) at 0900 hours for a 0915 march off. The assembly time margin  is to cover the eventuality of an earlier start – last year’s left twelve minutes before the nominated time. 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 having a get together after the march. This will be held at the RACV Carbine Room, RACV Club, 501 Bourke St, Melbourne. (Tel 9944 8888). Tram No. 58, caught in St. Kilda Road, will carry marchers from the Shrine to the Club.

With the start being earlier than last year we can convene in the entry floor coffee lounge beforehand.

An excellent lunch with a range of tasty finger food will be provided at a subsidised $20.00 per head. Drinks will be available at very reasonable prices. Ladies are most welcome indeed.

For catering purposes we ask that you advise your (and your partner’s) intended attendance for this function by 20 April.

The march presents a great opportunity for our Association and we would urge all who can do so to participate. Please let your OTU Classmates who shared the Scheyville experience know of this. They would be most welcome.

If you will be marching and will, or will not, be attending the luncheon, please advise :-
