A DISTINGUISHED-looking building, full of character and history, the Tallygaroopna Memorial Hall is pleased to announce that it is holding a very special Queen Elizabeth II memorabilia afternoon on Thursday, September 22 at 2.30pm.
A proud 98 years old, the hall has hosted and continues to host many important community events, coming alive with school concerts, dances and musical events on a regular basis.
Built in 1924 and with the foundational stone laid by the famous Colonial Bourchier, the hall stands as a memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the Great War. For many years it was also the meeting place for returned servicemen who curiously built an underground room at the hall for their meetings and was affectionately known as, ‘the dugout’.
With the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and with centennial birthday fundraising for the hall in mind, the Tallygaroopna Hall committee would like to invite one and all to partake in a delightful afternoon of tea, marmalade sandwiches and shared memories of the Queen.
Attendees are welcome to bring keep sakes of the Queen to share, and it is hoped that Tallygaroopna’s own Olivia Akers, who received possibly the last and very special letter from the Queen in Australia, will join the fun in her famous trooping of the colours uniform.
Donations at the door are $7 and it is very much hoped that Paddington Bears will also be in attendance!
