25th Anniversary of Ash Wednesday

(1/6) > >>

bajdas:
The 25th Anniversary of the Ash Wednesday Bushfires commemoration will be held at 'The Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens' on Saturday, 16th February 2008 at 1530.

The SASESVA are wishing to contact SES volunteers who were involved (past & present) and they have issued a general invite to the ceremony.

I assume the CFSVA are organising similar.

rescue5271:
So does anyone know what brigade's/groups will be doing for the 25th Anniversary??This should be a good time for all to reflect on the past not only for ASH WEDNESDAY but for large fire's that have taken place in SA.

Cameron Yelland:
Havent heard anything official but heard a whisper of something being held at Tarpeena.  No idea on what time though.

chook:
Andrew did you have to be in the CFS/SES at the time? Or does another service count?
And it seems like only yesterday, mind you I wish I the age I was then - now! :-D
Hopefully though it will never be that bad again!
cheers

"...*Ash Wednesday*

The 25^th anniversary of Ash Wednesday will take place on Saturday 16^th
February 2008 at 3.30p.m. at Mt Lofty to coincide with the time the
mount was scorched. Several SES Units have been invited to attend this
commemorative ceremony and if you know the names of any serving members
from 2003 who were involved with Ash Wednesday, please let me know
(name and contact address or email), so that they can be invited to
attend the event and also as we intend to recognise these members in the
March issue of Frontline, so will be seeking a brief profile from them
on their feelings from the period and what it means to be a SES
volunteer etc......"
