The Northam RSL is endeavouring to hold normal Anzac Day commemorations despite Covid-19 restrictions. At this time there will be the following activities:-
Anzac Eve Vigil
The Northam Scout Group will hold a Vigil at the Memorial commencing 6pm Anzac Eve.
Dawn Service
The Sub Branch will hold a Dawn Service at 6am at the Memorial Hall. Those members wishing to attend as a group please meet at the Post Office by 5.45am when they will proceed to the hall.
A Gunfire Breakfast will be held at the conclusion of the service. Due to Covid-19 restrictions the breakfast will be modified from previous years and social distancing must be maintained.
Anzac Day Parade and Service
The parade will form up as usual on Grey st and march to the Memorial Hall at 1040am where a service and wreath laying will be conducted.
This year the Reviewing Office will be Mr Tony Mylius AM well known cardiologist and wheatbelt identity.
The address will be given by Ms Karen Glass, a member of our Sub Branch.
Unfortunately there will be no morning tea served to the General Public after the march due Covid protocols and administration difficulties.
It is hoped that many people will attend the parade and enjoy themselves within the social distancing rules.
For those unable to attend and wish to have a driveway service again this year resources are available on the Sub Branch website northamrsl.com
For further information please contact President Mick Prytulak 0403 849 452 or Secretary Steve Dyer 0428 130 244.

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.
