ANZAC DAY POPPY DISPLAY—25TH April 2016
Call out to any interested members of the Shire of Victoria Plains.
Below is a template of a poppy, we are looking for people to make as many
RED
poppies as you like ie: paper, felt,
plastic, card, fabric or anything
red.
We would like to make a mass display on black netting to be hung outside the Hall on ANZAC Day
If you could make your POPPY (with your name attached) and place it in an envelope to Calingiri Progress
Association, Post Office, CALINGIRI 6569 that would be excellent.
Alternatively, if you will be attending the Anzac Day service, you can bring it along on the day to be pinned on the
netting

ANZAC DAY 2016
The Shire of Victoria Plains and Calingiri Progress Association (Inc), invite residents to an Anzac Day commemo-
rative service at the Victoria Plains Shire War Memorial in Calingiri, at 11.00am on Monday 25
th
April 2016.
The 2015, 100
th
year anniversary commemoration service of the Gallipoli landings, was an exceptional event, and
it is proposed that the theme of continuing to commemorate the 100
th
anniversary of aspects of World War One
(WW1), be continued.
1916 marked the arrival of Anzac forces on the Western Front in France, and 2016 will be the 100
th
year com-
memorative focus.
Residents who have had grandparents or great-grand parents directly serving in WW1, are particularly wel-
comed to this year’s service.
Further details will be provided in the April edition of the Shire of Victoria Plains newsletter.
