ASHGROVE –BARDON SUB BRANCH
Remembrance Day 2022 has been marked by a surge in participation following the end of Covid restriction that have limited activities for the past two years. It is truly gratifying to see the participation and inclusion of young people who in reality are so representative of the age group who went to fight for their Country and it’s values during the Great War.
The Sub Branch conducted stalls at various supermarket and shopping venues in both Ashgrove and Bardon. The proceeds from sales are used to provide support and assistance to veterans and their families and to help fund the ANZAC Day commemoration services throughout the district. The commemoration services which has become quite expensive with the Sub Branch now having to fund traffic control.
LIFE MEMBERSHIP
2022 also saw the awarding of Life Membership to long time Ashgrove Sub Branch Executive and SED representative Sam Komarowski. The award was presented by retired RSL Queensland Deputy President John Strachan OAM on behalf of the QLD State Branch at a luncheon held at the Gaythorne RSL Club and we wish to thank the organizers and the Club for making the event a truly memorable occasion for Sam and many of his family members who were present, and all of the Sub Branch who were able to attend.
NOISE SHARING: IS YOUR SUBURB NEXT?
CURFEW A BETTER PLAN
Airservices Australia and Brisbane Airport Corporation want an unlimited number of planes flying over greater Brisbane to make them rich. Their solution to the devastating noise pollution this is causing is to “share” it to new suburbs, including yours. BFPCA is fighting for a better solution; a curfew and a total flight cap just like Sydney Airport has.
