RSL Berwick

About

Berwick RSL is a medium sized sub branch in the fast growing Casey Council corridor of South East Melbourne, with a membership of approximately 250 people.

Story

Our focus at the Berwick RSL Sub branch is primarily upon Welfare Support and Services for our veterans.

The sub branch building is located at 17 Langmore Lane Berwick and consists of a hall, a kitchen and a Members Lounge.

We conduct appeals, namely the ANZAC Appeal and Poppy Appeal primarily around Berwick, Narre Warren, Beaconsfield surrounding towns.

Our Welfare Committee and General Committee work diligently to ensure that funds raised are spent for the benefit of Veterans and their families.

We also provide the Langmore day Club with use of our facilities free of charge for 6 hours every Wednesday.

We do not have gaming machines or a regular restaurant.

The Members Lounge is open Monday to Saturday from about 4:30 pm until 7:30 pm depending upon patronage. We are staffed entirely by volunteers.

At present there is a dinner held on the first Friday of each month, sponsored by the hard working Women’s Auxiliary. Bookings need to be made in person at the RSL 2 weeks before each dinner.

At 6 am on April 25 each year, we hold a Dawn Service at the City of Casey Offices Memorial, followed by a Gunfire breakfast sponsored by the Rotary Club of Narre Warren.

Our main ANZAC Commemoration Service commences at 11 am in the Memorial Area, High St Berwick. We also hold a service in the Memorial Area, High St Berwick on November 11 each year to Commemorate Remembrance Day.

Prospective members are most welcome to contact us through email, telephone or by just dropping in to enjoy the welcoming atmosphere.
