Anzac Day Service Live Stream

Saturday April 25

10.55am - 11.15am

Anzac Day
The Scotland Island & offshore community Anzac Day service that has been running for more than 40 years will go ahead this coming Saturday, April 25, in a format designed to meet social distancing requirements.

Rather than the annual gathering at Church Point, the service will be broadcast live via the Scotland Island & Offshore Community Facebook private group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/140459236560929/) from 10.55am to approximately 11.15am.

If you are not yet a group member, please request to join prior to Saturday.

Councillor Ian White will MC the Anzac service and local trumpeter Harley Ratcliff will play The Last Post and Reveille.
Traditional periods of silence and the flag raising ceremony will be observed.
 
This is not a community gathering.

Please enjoy the service from your home and place flowers at the foot of the ANZAC memorial stone at Church Point in your own time, if you wish.
 


Any Old Iron, Any Old Iron…!

Winter is coming in and it’s time to light the fire.

fireguard
We have just installed a new fire and no longer need a fire guard or metal plates to line the fireplace.
The guard is 600mm wide closed and 900mm open and 900mm high. $25.

plates
The metal plates of varying size can be used as barbecue plates or to line an open fire. Free to good home!

Items can be collected from a private wharf in Lovett Bay during this time of social distancing!
