Gulgong RSL sub-Branch

08/09/2026

The Gulgong RSL Sub-Branch 'PT in the Park' is on again at 9.30am on Sunday the 13th of September at ANZAC Park. All veterans, their families and friends are welcome. Remember veterans, their families and friends don't need to be a member of the Sub-Branch to join the veteran community at any Sub-Branch activities. Please bring a hat and water. There is no charge to attend. Our outstanding Physical Trainer; Bec Hallam, will tailor her session to meet your needs. Coming down for a look doesn't oblige you to join in.

We are looking forward to a great attendance. Spring has sprung so let's embrace the warmer weather and train, you'll be glad you did. It is time to get moving and find a reason to come and train, not an excuse not to. Spectators and hecklers welcome. 'In the service of those who have served'.

Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling confidential support for current and fomer ADF members and their families. No one should battle alone. Only you can make the call. 'In the service of those who have served'

"I honestly can’t recommend this service highly enough. I picked up the phone really hesitantly and I’ll be totally honest – I really didn’t think it would make much difference at all.

"I was feeling so low back then, I figured things couldn’t possibly get any worse anyway. Getting to talk to someone who actually understood what I’d been through was worth more than I can say. Now I feel so much more able to get through the tough days when they come around."

Taking the first step to seek support isn't always easy, and many people wonder whether talking to someone will really help.

For this participant in the Open Arms Community and Peer Program, connecting with someone who understood their experience made a real difference.

Open Arms Community and Peer Program connects veterans and families of veterans with lived experience professionals who have their own lived experience of military service and its impacts. Sometimes, having a conversation with someone who understands can help you feel less alone and more confident in navigating life's challenges.

If you're finding things tough, support is available.

Open Arms provides free and confidential support for current and former ADF members and their families.

The Gulgong RSL Sub-Branch held our September General Meeting on Friday the 4th of September. We had a disappointing attendance,but the meeting was productive nonetheless with updates provided on recent Sub-Branch activities and future planning of events for the September period.

We were most pleased to be joined by 2nd Lieutenant (2LT) Michelle Hanman from 205 Army Cadet Unit - Mudgee. 2LT Hanman briefed on the operations of the 205th ACU and we strategised on opportunities for mutual support.

The President thanked the Sub-Branch for their efforts in supporting our range of fundraising, healthy lifestyle, welfare and administrative functions in August. Inparticular he thanked those who supported our successful Vietnam Veterans Day ceremony. He reported that our rate of effort in August increased from July but remained under our monthly bench mark of 203 volunteer hours with only 170 volunteer hours captured. This was despite an increase in events and is indicative of a reduced attendance at our events and activities in August. The President encouraged greater participation in September as the weather warms up for Spring.

The Sub-Branch continues to grow with Jennie Marmion's affiliate membership confirmed. This brings our membership growth to 69 members (58 Service and 11 affiliates) which is pleasing progress towards our membership target of 100 members by the end of 2027 (76 by the end of 2026). All in attendance were encouraged to continue to actively engage with our veteran community in order to to grow our membership.

Amanda Lane; our Treasurer, was again recognised as the Sub-Branch Sentinel for welfare for August. She was so recognised in acknowledgement of the hours of assistance she provides to many local veterans and their families whilst also juggling the demands of her employment, RFS volunteering and her duties as Sub-Branch Treasurer. Her efforts are greatly appreciated and model the spirit of our our charitable purpose.

The key dates for September/October are as follows:

🇦🇺Fundraising raffles at Gulgong Bowling & Sporting Club on the 19th of September and the 3rd of October, for a 7pm draw.
