ANZAC Day is a staple in our
calendar. To ensure our readers

Observer has collated some of the
highlights in our North Shore area.
North Ryde RSL:
On the Lower North Shore is North
Ryde RSL, a destination that prides
itself on catering to seniors. With the
motto ‘we’re more than a club, we’re
your community,’ North Ryde RSL
provides numerous members draws,
fine dining, entertainment and social
activities. For ANZAC Day, the RSL
has an extensive line-up, including
the traditional Dawn Service at
7:00am, the ANZAC breakfast at
8am and also a sunset service at the
club’s memorial garden.
Roseville Memorial Club:
One of our more local options is the
humble Roseville Memorial Club.
Close and convenient for Inner North
Shore residents, the club offers a
range of services and activities for
members and their guests. With a
dawn service on the 25th at the club’s
neighbouring park, and refreshments
offered afterwards, this event is ideal
for those not wanting the hassle of
having to travel to Martin Place.
