    Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 1 - Attachment A Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 1 - Attachment A Ordinary Meeting 17 March 2015 - Item 2 - Attachment B Nowra RSL Sub-Branch PO Box 369, Nowra NSW 2541 Phone/Fax: 44236335 Welfare: 44227235 Jo Gash Mayor Shoalhaven City Nowra NSW 2540 Dear Jo, Three years ago our Sub Branch came up with an initiative to raise funds to send care packages and support our troops deployed overseas and additionally raise funds for ‘Soldier On’. The initiative involved putting on a game of Rugby involving our local Rugby Squad and playing in specially designed jerseys depicting the ANZAC spirit and the day was called ‘Digger Day’. On completion of the game the jerseys are auctioned off to the public. The successful collaboration between the Nowra RSL sub-branch and the Shoalhaven Rugby club has proved to be a big hit within the tight Shoalhaven community. This event has attracted around 1500-2000 people to each Digger Day event, which equates to around a large step up in number, compared to normal club matches. The concept was a huge success raising in excess of $10,000 for each year. On each occasion we have had the support of my close and personal friend, Keith Payne VC who has attended as guest to all our Digger Days. On each occasion the Navy flew Keith by Naval Helicopter into the ground with the game ball and the Army’s Red Beret Parachute Display team also performs. As we approached the ANZAC Centenary we had plans to escalate the event and put on a Digger Day which would be momentous and spectacular for our small community for 2015.

  • Inquiry Into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1-1 The Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the Tribunal) is established under the provisions in Schedule 1 of the Defence Legislation Amendment Act 2010 [No. 1] (Cwlth), which came into effect on 5 January 2011.

The Defence Legislation Amendment Act contains the provisions for the establishment of the new Defence Honours and Awards Appeals Tribunal (the new Tribunal, or the Tribunal), as well as specifying its membership, powers and functions. The Tribunal’s functions are set out in s. 110UA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cwlth). The Minister may direct the Tribunal to hold an inquiry into a specified matter concerning Defence honours or awards. The Tribunal must then hold an inquiry and report, with recommendations, to the Minister. 1-2 On 21 February 2011 the Parliamentary Secretary for Defence, Senator The Hon. David Feeney, referred the matter of Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour to the Tribunal. The Terms of Reference for the Inquiry into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour (the Inquiry), as agreed on 29 April 2012, are set out in full at the commencement of the Report of the Inquiry into Unresolved Recognition for Past Acts of Naval and Military Gallantry and Valour (the Report). 1-3 The Tribunal comprised the following members: • Emeritus Professor Dennis Pearce, AO (Chairman until 20 June 2011) • Mr Alan Rose, AO (Chairman from 26 September 2011) • Professor David Horner, AM (also Presiding Member from 20 June to 25 September 2011) • Vice Admiral Don Chalmers, AO (Retd) • Brigadier Gary Bornholt, AM, CSC (Retd) • Air Commodore Mark Lax, OAM, CSM (Retd).
