OFFICIAL LAUNCH AT ASTOR THEATRE
The Great Anzac Run was officially launched last Monday night with a spectacular night at the Astor Theatre. The night attracted plenty of onlookers with drivers down busy Dandenong Road slowing down to view the old Hotchkiss Pumper and the Police mounted guards patrolling the entrance to the Astor foyer.
The night began with a rousing Reveille before MC, David Mann, introduced the night’s events.
Highlights included:
• a powerful three-part performance by CBC drama students, Quin Kelly, Wilson Brown and James Baker.
• A most interesting description about the courage of the Anzacs by noted historian and author, Roland Perry.
• A fascinating discussion with returned servicemen, Ed Styrinksi and John Stretch about their time serving our country and an insight into their passion about being Australian.
• After the showing of the film, Gallipoli, the night ended with a beautiful rendition of the Australian National Anthem by 14 year old Annabelle Priftis.
This was truly an amazing night for all who attended and an superb official launch of The Great Anzac Run.
