Monday 19 APRIL 2022
ANZAC Day on 25 April will be commemorated a little differently this year. Below are notices from those organising events for our towns and communities. We hope you are able to participate, wherever you are. We will remember them.
FEATHERSTON
There will be two services in Featherston on ANZAC Day, to which residents and visitors are cordially invited:
- Dawn Service (0600 hrs) – Cross of Sacrifice, Featherston Cemetery. Please be assembled by 0555 hrs.
- Civic Service (0900 hrs) – Featherston War Memorial on the corner of Fitzherbert (SH2) and Fox Streets. Please be assembled by 0855 hrs.
Anyone intending to lay a wreath at either service is asked to contact the Featherston RSA on 022 165 3521.
Peter Jackson, President
Featherston Memorial RSA
GREYTOWN
It is with sincere regret we confirm that we are not holding the usual Citizens’ ANZAC Day march and indoor service this ANZAC Day 2022. This decision is made to protect both the safety of RSA members and the public from the risk of Covid-19.
The RSA will instead hold a Wreath Laying Service at 10.30am at the War Memorial, Kuratawhiti Street. All are welcome to attend.
Service groups and members of the community, we encourage you to stand by your gate at dawn on the 25th of April.
Dave Hayden, Secretary
Greytown RSA
MARTINBOROUGH
This year we will not be commemorating ANZAC Day with the usual Dawn Ceremony.
This decision is with the guidance, and in alignment with the RSA to ensure that we do not place individuals under any unnecessary risk to Covid-19. Members of the public are instead invited to stand at their gates at dawn on ANZAC Day.
The Martinborough RSA will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph at 10am. All are welcome to join the RSA in laying a wreath or a poppy at that time.
Pam Colenso, Secretary
Martinborough RSA
LAKE FERRY
This year we will not be commemorating ANZAC Day with the usual Citizens’ Ceremony.
This decision is made in line with a direction from the Chief of Defence Force along with guidance and alignment with RSA to ensure that we do not place individuals under any unnecessary risk to Covid-19.
In lieu of this, as secretary of the Lake Ferry Ratepayer and Residents Association, I will be conducting a lone Flag Ceremony at Flagstaff at 10.30 am and will then also lay a wreath. Individuals and community groups are also welcome to lay wreaths from 10.30am.
Nigel Gattsche, Secretary
LAKE FERRY Ratepayer and Residents Association
