Commemorations - 2001

Two highlights of 2001 for the group were the involvement in Mackay's Anzac Day & Remembrance Day ceremonies

On Anzac Day, the group marched togther publically for the first time - showing off their dress shirts and their impressive banner (sponsored by North Jacklin Nissan)

Remembrance Day was a solemn occasion with two group members laying a wreath on behalf of the school.

The ceremony also saw the planting of a descendant of the original Lone Pine tree in the park near the WW1 Cenotaph
