Armour (Boorowa R.S.L. President), lan Pryce (Boorowa R.S.L. Secretary), Dr. Keif and the President of the Memorial Hall Committee (Mr. E. R. Armour), who was in charge of proceedings. The ceremony began with a march-in of ex-servicemen, immediately followed by the singing of the National Anthem.

Apologies for absence were then read by the Chairman, after which speeches were given by Messrs, T. Perceval, H. J. Armour and Ian Pryce.
