2018 Constitutional Consultation Sessions
For information and circulation to sub-Branch members
RSL NSW President James Brown and team members from ANZAC House met with members this week during the constitutional consultation sessions in Bowral, Goulburn, Braidwood and Wagga Wagga.
During week two of the constitutional consultation sessions, the team will meet with members from surrounding sub-Branches at Cardiff, Taree, Port Macquarie and Sawtell. We’ll also host a consultation session at ANZAC House in Sydney on Thursday 20 September from 10.30am – 1.00pm. Due to limited space, we will have to restrict the session to 25 members. If you’d like to attend, please send your expression of interest to invitations@rslnsw.org.au. The first 25 members to respond will be confirmed.
More Sydney metropolitan sessions are currently being organised. Dates and venues for these sessions will be released as soon as they are available.
You can follow the 2018 constitutional consultation sessions blog as the ANZAC House team travel around the state meeting with members by clicking here. This page will be updated regularly, as photos come in from the team as they travel from town to town.
Sub-Branches who wish to share these photos on their official RSL sub-Branch social media channels may also download images from a shared Dropbox folder. Please click here to access this folder. You may also use the following link to access this folder: http://bit.ly/2018RSLSessions
