Ashgrove-Bardon RSL Sub Branch Merger

The Ashgrove and Bardon Sub Branches of the RSL are to merge. The move is considered a logical step for a number of reasons and the support of members from both Sub Branches has been resounding. Since the founding of both Sub Branches in 1932 and 1949 respectively, the geographic spread of both Sub Branches memberships has tended to overlap and the services provided to members, war widows and active service families has increased significantly. The consensus of members is that the merged Sub Branch will be better able to support those services and deliver for the growing needs of the service community. Both Sub Branches are in very sound financial positions.

Ashgrove is currently based at the Red Hill Community Sports Club sharing the original Ithica Bowls Club site with the Normanby, Newspapers and Goodsports Social Bowls Clubs, Normanby Rugby League Club, the Brisbane Concert Orchestra, The Folk Choir, Paddington Probus Club and Celtic Fiddlers Club. Sub Branch meetings are held monthly.

The Bardon RSL SubBranch Inc was formed on 19 August 1949, with its current RSL Charter awarded on 19 August 2001.

Over the years since formation, the Sub Branch has been active in the local community with a range of events and activities, including dance nights, contributions of books to the local library, establishment of a youth group, and attendance at local school commemorative services. The Bardon-Sub Branch meet at the Bardon Bowls Club.

The Ashgrove District RSL Sub-Branch was founded February 29, 1932 by Colonel John Macdonald Grant MC VD.

Ashgrove RSL Sub Branch meets at the Red Hill Community Sports Club which is located at 22 Fulcher Rd, Red Hill. Meetings are held on the last Sunday of each month commencing at 11am. There is no meeting held in December.

Pensions and Advocacy support is available through the RSL SED Pensions and Advocacy Office at Greenslopes Private Hospital on 07 3394 7235 or 07 3394 7077 during normal business hours. Our Welfare Officer is Greg Butterfield. He can be contacted on 3355 4655.

Welfare events are organised throughout the year based on Member, Citizens Auxiliary and War Widow input. Please contact us to let us know about your upcoming event so that our members can be included.

It is intended that for the next 12 months the Merged Sub Branch will alternate meeting between the Red Hill Community Sports Club and the Bardon Bowls Club.
