Gunnedah RSL sub-Branch is urging local veterans and their families to get on board a free bus to a veteran-dedicated community event in Tamworth this Saturday.
Legacy Day for Veterans and Families will be held at Tamworth Rugby Park from 10am-3pm. The community event will feature guest speakers, information stalls, food and drink, live music, entertainment and more.
The day is endorsed by General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK AC (Mil) CVO MC (Retd), former Governor-General of Australia and one of Australia’s most respected military leaders.
Event attendees will be able to learn about the wide range of services and support available to veterans and their families from ex-service organisations such as Partners of Veterans, Legacy and RSL NSW.
Gunnedah RSL sub-Branch will supply a specially-modified 50-seat coach for free return travel to Tamworth for the event. The bus lowers to a suitable height to allow the elderly and people with disability, to travel with greater ease.
The Gunnedah RSL sub-Branch will also provide refreshments during the day at a nominal cost of $15 per head.
A gazebo shelter will be available at the venue, however, it is suggested guests bring their own foldable chairs.
Veterans, legatees, war widows and anyone else in the local veteran community who would like attend the Legacy Day and receive this free transport, even if they’re not connected to the RSL sub-Branch, should contact 0429 441 311 to reserve their seat. The bus departs Gunnedah 8.30am Saturday.
