The 100th anniversary of the formation of Taree RSL Sub-branch will be recognised in December.
The sub-branch has replied to comments that the Remembrance Day service should be held at the memorial clock, as is the Anzac Day service, saying that the seating is not available and police and council approvals required could not be obtained. Parking is also an issue.
The sub-branch says Club Taree provides seating needed for the elderly at the Remembrance Day service.
