ROLLINGSTONE RSL Rollingstone RSL will conduct the end of year General Meeting on 06 November at Mystic Sands Golf Resort, commencing at 11.30 am followed by lunch for those in attendance. The business will include information on the RSL Queensland Annual General Meeting to be conducted in Brisbane on 8/9 December 2021. Members will have recently received the Notice of Meeting. The dates for the AGM are of course out of synch with our traditional governance activities but that is COVID for you. Our Meeting is the opportunity to inform the members of the business to be conducted and to have “your say”. REMEMBRANCE DAY- 11th November 2021 Our last service in 2021! A special one in that it is part of our remembering the anniversary of the ending of World War 1, it
is always a special service as we remember all who have served our country to maintain our freedom; it is a time to remember all of those who have given their lives in different conflicts or who have served our country in some way.
We will conduct the REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE at the Memorial at BALGAL BEACH as usual. Unfortunately, this year Rollingstone State School students will be attending swimming activities in Ingham and so will be absent on duty this year.
The Service commences at 10:40 am to coincide with the 11am 2 minutes silence. We will be supported by the RAAF from Townsville as a Catafalque Party as has become usual for our Remembrance Day services. They always look smart and drill well. Please be there if you can! and after at Mystic Sands Golf Resort, the home of Rollingstone RSL for lunch and fellowship. CHRISTMAS PARTY- this year to be held in November, date to be confirmed shortly. All RSL members and guests are most welcome. We have a number of people who support us with our raffles and Goose Club, and we would love you to join us if you can. We will follow our usual format. We meet from 6pm onwards, with dinner from 7pm. In the last couple of years we have found selling one raffle ticket with a number of draws throughout the evening has proved to be quite popular. It is an opportunity to meet fellow members in a convivial atmosphere. The Goose Club jackpotted last Friday night and a lucky couple won $800.00. The win was well received as they had recently paid a motza for a family members motor vehicle repairs. The Goose club restarts with a $200.00 jackpot and raffles are still available on Friday nights. See you at the club and at our REMEMBRANCE DAY Service. Ewan Cameron President Rollingstone RSL
