Sub-branch deputy president Graham Morrow said it was wonderful for the RSL to finally have another home.

“It is a big relief to have a new home because the shed that we were using was going to be too expensive, we would not have been able to pay the rent,” he said.

“We have been given the church to use and maintain and we hope to eventually turn it into a museum for military memorabilia.”

The Sub-branch has begun started moving into the building and welcomes past and existing members and Australian ex-servicemen to come forward and help usher the club into its new life.
