Australia Day Jan 26th at the Churchill Public Hall.

Starting usually a 7am this local event is now being held at the Churchill Public Hall Entrance. Pre 2009 there were different places but it was mainly  in the Hazelwood and Churchill Shopping Center area. [behind the memorial wall, [cigar] behind the saloon bar [no longer there] in the car park.... (theory of this is great)] Or even at Gaskin Park (2008).

As a Hazelwood and Churchill Event it is open to all aged Guiding personal and members. Event permission forms should be handed to the Guide Leader in Charge of the Guides on the day... signed by parent or carrer.

Previous years we have been asked to face paint as an activity while people eat and catch up with friends.  Other times there have been odd jobs like the handing out of flags, song sheets, readings, hoisting the flag / colour party [with Scouts]. 

One draw back here is that we ususally do not get finalisation of anything until the week before.  When we do it will be posted here.  So keep an eye out and email us when if you think you are coming.

Australia Day in Melbourne

Australia Day celebrated as a State Event in Melbourne. This event has the Guides carrying a large Australian Flag.  For this the day is primarily aimed at the BP's, Queens Guide's and OBPs presented the previous year.  The years that I took Guides down who had achieved these Peak Achievement we had a ball.  At the end of the march there we were in Government gardens joining in the festivities.

Full Uniform is worn.  Take drink bottles full of water and sun hats.  Make sure you are well fed before the ceremonies begin.

As a Hazelwood and Churchill combined event the places have altered when necessary.  They have been behind the Hazelwood and Churchill shopping Center, Churchill Saloon, at Gaskin Park and at the Churchill Public Hall entrance. This event is open to all aged Guiding personal and members. On Australia Day the Gipps Guides or Leaders have been asked to face paint as an activity while people eat and catch up with friends. Other times there have been odd jobs like the handing out of flags, song sheets, readings, hoisting the flag / colour party [with Scouts].

Sometimes we go into Morwell's Kurnot Hall for the Australia Day Ceremonies and Presentations/ Citizen of the Year Awards.

Churchill Lions make sure there is a full breakfast available.
