Victorian Scheyvillians
The NSAA has rebranded NSAA Day to National Servicemen’s Day and has invited all Nashos to attend the annual event. This now includes NSAA Members, OTU-A Members, Nasho Fair Go Members and Non-aligned Nashos and Nasho Vietnam Veterans. Indications are that there could be over 100 Nashos in attendance.
Date: Sunday 9 February 2025
Place: Assemble below the steps halfway along The Shrine main pathway.
Time: 1045 hrs for a briefing. Step Off at 1100 hrs.
Dress: As for ANZAC Day: coat, tie, full-size medals, hat etc. Note that the NSAA ‘uniform’ is a blue beret, reefer jacket, tie and full-size medals.
March: The march will take place in two parts: Part 1, march up the steps onto the main forecourt. Part 2 will be a march past the ‘Eternal Flame’ (with an eyes right – eyes front). After a left wheel, the march will halt at the main steps. The parade will be fallen out to form up on the lower steps for a photograph. After the photo, Scheyvillians are requested to meet on the flagpole side of the steps for a further photo.
Service: After the photograph, a service will be held in The Shrine.
After the service: The Salvation Army will provide drinks and nibbles. Please bring a small amount of cash for a donation to the Salvos.
About a dozen Scheyvillians, who would not normally attend, have indicated that they will attend on 9 February.
If you haven’t already done so, please advise your attendance to me.
