Terry-Anne O’Neill’s book on the Gunning District’s role in the First World War is being launched on Anzac Day, Tuesday 25 April by former Gunning and Upper Lachlan Shire President John Shaw, OAM.

Following the book launch during the Commemoration Service and subsequent Question and Answer session in the Courthouse, when copies of the book may be purchased for cash only, a lunch has been arranged at the Old Coaching Stables, Cullerin Road, 7kms north of Gunning on the left hand side.

Unlike previous RSL social functions on Anzac Day, it is intended that this lunch should be open to all residents of the Gunning District along with friends and visitors, giving them a chance to meet with the author and be involved in this unique event in the history of the Gunning area.

The cost of the two course lunch is $30 with drinks available for purchase at the bar.

For catering I need to have numbers by Wednesday 19 April, either by telephone 4845 8257, or email findlaymogear@gmail.com.

I look forward to seeing you there,

Dave Findlay
