The sub branch/museum will be open from 5.30am.
All ex-service and service personnel of Oberon and district will be joined at 10.30am by the schools, clubs and other organisations to form a parade in front of the Oberon Council Chambers.
They will march to the RSL Club for a wreath-laying ceremony, and then to the RSL Club’s auditorium for a commemoration service – children are most welcome to attend this service.
After the commemoration service, the Oberon RSL Club will host a lunch for all ex-service personnel and their spouses. Visitors and members of the community are welcome to join us for lunch.
There will be two more ANZAC Day services on April 28 – at 10am at Burraga and at noon at Black Springs.
