Gents,
Those who are going to attend the march could you please let us know either by the website or by sending an email to me. Transport requests can also be sent to me via email or post and I will ensure that you are included. There will be a bus from the Coorparoo RSL to the city march and returning after the march. Times and pick up drop off will be sent out closer to the time.
Please read and give us the information. With regards to the Dawn Service at SWHT more information will come out after the next meeting.

Additional Information
Please Note: Information was Provided last year, to be confirmed if still valid for 2022 by our ESO Representative.
COVID Safe event requirements to be advised.
Other support to veteran participation is detailed as follows:
13 CABS have generously offered support to the Parade with both individual pickup from home and operating a Maxi cab shuttle service to transport veterans from the Taxi Rank at Roma Street train station to the Buggy Shuttle area on Creek and Elizabeth Street junction (outside Commonwealth Bank).
From the Buggy Shuttle area participants can catch the large shuttle vehicles up Elizabeth Street to either the Jeep/Buggy Loading area (rear of the Myer Centre for non-marchers) or to the junction of Elizabeth and George Streets for those marching in the Parade.
This service will run from 8:30am-11:00am and they will have water and Anzac biscuits at Roma Street. 13 CABS representatives will be on-site to answer queries and direct personnel, this is likely to be a better option than disembarking at Central Station and walking to either the Buggy Shuttle at Creek/Elizabeth or direct to George/William Street to form up. Dependant on take up by veterans participating in the Parade the service may be offered again in 2022.
Should veterans wish to be collected from home and participate in the Parade inside a taxicab they should call 07 3556 5788 direct, cut off for Registration is the 19th April (subject to volunteer driver availability). Veterans will remain in the cab throughout then be transported home after the event.
You are asked to pass this information to your membership to make best use of this service to those utilising public transport to access the Parade, as well as being dropped directly to the Buggy Shuttle area via private means.
There is no requirement to re-submit Veteran Transport requests, this update is aimed at those veterans unable to march in the Parade on a first come, first served basis to participate inside a taxi within Group 1 and those wishing to take advantage of free public transport and utilise the shuttle from Roma Street train station.
