integral part of the community
Over the year, the sub branch has a variety of services and events.
These include craft days, mystery tours, fund raisers, Christmas cheers, Poppy Day, and sundowners. We also work with local youth through cadet groups, high school interaction and sponsoring end of year awards for primary school students. We help the schools conduct their own ceremonial services, and have representation at our public commemorations.
We meet on the first Saturday of month (except January), at 10am at the Memorial Hall : 265 Fitzgerald St, Northam.
The Women’s Auxiliary meet when needed. If you are interested in joining please contact Denette Bernard or Donna Prytulak.
Our office is open every Friday from 9 – 11 am. Come in for a chat and coffee. Tuesday 2 – 4pm is our coffee and cake day – open to all, bring along your own cup, a gold coin donation for the hot drink and cake, and see what happens next. Coffee and cake takes a break between the 2nd Tuesday of December and the 1st Tuesday of February.
