The Veterans and Services Coffee Club is co-sponsored by the Medowie and Stockton RSL sub-Branches with free tea or coffee during the first three months trial period.

Organiser Peter Stephenson said, “It was great to see a good number of people along for the first of these events and we encourage younger veterans and service personnel to come along each week to enjoy some great company and camaraderie.

“We would like to encourage members with young families to bring the children along to share in the experience and to enjoy the facilities of Medowie Social including the children’s play area.”

Ian Harding, President of the Medowie RSL sub-Branch said, “We intend this weekly get together to be a no pressure experience for those in attendance.

“The whole purpose is to provide a casual forum and of course there will be RSL personnel in attendance to provide confidential advice on veterans issues should that may be required.”

Operator of the Medowie Social, Charlie Way, was welcoming of this new initiative and has been a great supporter of the RSL.

The Veterans and Services Coffee Club meets every Saturday at 11:30 am in the Medowie Social, Ferodale Rd, Medowie.
