Executive Committee

Northam RSL Sub Branch

At a recent meeting of the Northam Sub Branch executive it was agreed that the following activities be promoted through the Northam district as a way for the community to honour our Anzacs.

Resources for families to access will be made available on Facebook and the sub branch website (northamrsl.com) to encourage discussion about Anzac Day. These resources include a picture of the Australian Flag, poppies and a Anzac lantern, these items could then be used as decorations for the home service on Anzac Day.

The community is encouraged to utilise local radio broadcasts of both the Dawn Service and the 11am Anzac Service. Check local guides for details.

At 11am at the Northam Memorial, Northam RSL President Mick Prytulak, will lay a wreath on behalf of the Service Community other wreaths can be laid by the President representing the organisation.

There will be a flyover at this time viewable from most homes in Northam.

Any persons attending the Memorial privately during the day must obey the COVID-19 protocols. It is requested that serious consideration be given whether your visit is essential.

Should any community group wish the President to lay a wreath on their behalf please contact the RSL Secretary by email, northamrslsb@hotmail.com or advise the florist when ordering the floral tribute who will arrange for delivery to the sub branch.

The Northam Sub Branch remind any service personnel needing assistance to contact the sub branch, confidentiality is assured.
