All Anzac services to be at Ettalong Diggers this year
All three Anzac Day services on the Peninsula will be hosted in the Ettalong Diggers Club this year.
There will not be any marches, nor will there be services at the Woy Woy or Ettalong Beach cenotaphs.
The services will be a 5.30am dawn service, the 8am Vietnam Vets Service and the 10.30am Mid-Morning Service, and all three will be streamed live via FaceBook.
Ettalong Diggers general manager Mr Bill Jackson said the arrangements had been made in consultation with local services organisations.
He said the events at Ettalong Diggers would comply with the club's Covid-19 Safety Plan and all three services will be by invitation only.
"Invitations are being restricted to current and former Australian Defence Force personnel, partners and family along with current or former service personnel from other countries and partners and limited invited dignitaries.
"We regret that public invitations will not be possible."
He said the club would continue to meet regularly with representatives of the Woy Woy, Ettalong, Hardy's Bay RSL Sub-Branch and the Vietnam Veterans' Peacekeepers' Peacemakers' Association of Australia Gosford City Sub-Branch Inc to ensure that the plans are updated to reflect the NSW Governments Covid-19 Safety regulations.
