WOTS ON FOR VETS IN SEPTEMBER

There is ample availability for additional members/partners/family to join in our Veterans Wellbeing Activities here at St Marys.

If you have thought about it but yet to try, then why not 'bite-the-bullet' in September. See what's on in this shot ...

None of our Activities are seriously competitive ... they're for all levels of ability. It's more about interacting with similarly-minded people and the only challenge is to yourself.

So choose, then phone where necessary, or come along to the Activity of your choice. Why let others have ALL the fun!

Visit the Local Long Tan Memorial

Located in Water Lilly Terrace in Bidwill, lies this magnificent Vietnam War Memorial to the 18 diggers lost at the Battle of Long Tan (including our local lad, Jack Jewry) 60 years ago today.

Our sub-Branch member Lance Northey was surprised to see such a memorial in the local area.

Battle of Long Tan – 18th August 1966 - 60 Years On
Local Lad Lost – Lest We Forget

Today we reflect on this major Battle of the Vietnam War where 18 young Australian lives were lost in a matter of hours – including that of Lance Corporal Jack Jewry of St Marys.

We honour his Service and that of ALL who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. Today, Jack Jewry lies at peace in Pinegrove Minchinbury Cemetery.

This evening, a Commemorative Service will be conducted by the St Marys Outpost of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, to commemorate Vietnam Veterans Day, in the auditorium of St Marys Diggers Club, commencing at 1700hrs. Those who wish to reflect on this are welcome to attend this formal event.

Straight as an Arrow

The brave 20 archers this morning disregarded the light rain to enjoy the challenge of hitting the Bull. Eventually all but three retreated to shelter, but that was nearing the end of the session anyway.

Thanks to Joanne and John for keeping us safe and on track. And welcome to the additional archers who joined us for the first time.

Thanks also to Charlie for record/cash keeping.

After the session a few moved to Bunnings North Penrith to either work or buy sausage sandwiches .... and support the Defence and First Responder Veteran Shed who were fundraising for their new shed. It was certainly great weather for a BBQ Sausage!

Next archery session will be 19th September - mark your diary and come along.
