  • Minister Hunt released a statement encouraging all Australians to be vaccinated against the flu as soon as possible. Free government vaccine is now available in GP practices (for those over 65, children under 5 and those with relevant pre-existing conditions).

HONOUR WALL COMPLETED

The Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-branch is pleased to announce
that the Ocean Grove Honour Wall and Wings are now completed and on display in the Ocean Grove Park.
When the current Health Crisis is over and it is safe to do so, the Sub-Branch would encourage the Community and members to view the upgraded Memorial. 
If some-one feels they have a relative who has been overlooked, the RSL Sub-Branch is happy to research any information provided prior to 1 July 2020, and if found to be eligible will add the details to the Memorial in the correct category in time for ANZAC Day 2021. This will be the timeline to add additional names to the Honour Walls in future years as well.
Contact: John Dickinson. Mob: 0409 432331
or email: dingopc@bigpond.com
The Memorial honours all Defence Force members since 1914 who lived in, enlisted from or subsequently settled in the Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Connewarre Districts.
The RSL Sub-branch is very mindful of the support provided by the Community for this project. The Sub-branch would particularly wish to thank Andrew Bartlett, the Stonemason, Staff from the COGG and the Committee for the Park.

“SCAM WARNING”

    Just a reminder that the Scammers
are still out there and over the next number of Months will be very active..

With the recently announced $750 Government payment due to start being paid to Veterans etc at the end of this Month, the scammers are using it as an opportunity to try and gain access to your private details
Calls are supposedly coming from “Medicare” looking to update clients details due to the virus.
Please do not tell them or any other caller any personal information, especially bank account or credit card details..
The $750 payments will be made automatically.
You do not need to do anything.
