We had our first function for 2021 last weekend at the Australian Hotel. Here's some photos of Sat’s function (taken early on...) Around 50 members and guests attended during the day. It was great to see so many news faces.

We're planning a number of functions this year, with the suggestion we try the Thuringowa RSL as a venue for one of them, as it's been 'done up' since last year.
We're in the stages of planning the ANZAC Day event, with details of the March in Townsville to be released as they become available.
Photos of the day are available on the Gallery page of the website.
Bring on ANZAC Day at Flynn’s Hotel!
Cheers Tank
