ANZAC Day 2017

Just a friendly reminder.
ANZAC Day Memorial Service and Dinner is in 4 days time.
If you are wishing to joining us we need to know numbers for the dinner for catering purposes. We will be giving approximate numbers later today to the caterers though we can include just a few more if need be.

The moving service presented by the Reverend Clive Jacobsen starts at 18h30 after which we are piped through to the NMR Officer's Mess for drinks and sign the visitors guest book and at about 19h00 or soon after those have booked for dinner proceed to the Dixie Adams Hall for the dinner.

We have chosen to engage "Peppers and Pans" as our preferred caterers having had excellent faire at a reasonable price last year.

Have a look at the menu below in the last posting!

This year we are pleased to have the Melbourne Rebels Rugby team attending the service and they will be enjoying a few drinks at the "Boot and Spur" pub that is on the ground floor at NMR HQ after the service.

The Australian and New Zealand Association is truly grateful to have Natal Mounted Rifles allowing us to have use of their facilities for ANZAC Day and several other events over many years.

As always there is secure parking at NMR

If you miss out on this event there will be a Potjie competition, a Beerfest and a very popular Car Rally and maybe a wine tasting later this year.

This annual event is an integral part of both the New Zealand and Australian cultures. It was great to have a strong contingent of the visiting Melbourne Rebels Rugby team present with the team manager Mark Rowe laying a wreath on behalf of the team.
ANZA is extremely grateful that the Natal Mounted Rifles have allowed ANZA to have a memorial plaque on their memorial wall and assist with sponsoring this event at their headquarters for the last five years.
After the service presented by the Reverend Clive Jacobsen there was an exceptional dinner catered for by Peppers and Pans at the Dixie Adams Function room.They also did us proud.
