Over 85 Camberwell ‘Pompey’ Elliott RSL Sub-Branch members caught up in November 2023, at the Camberwell Bowls Club for their end-of-year function. It was a night filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie — a safe place for veterans and their families to celebrate the successful amalgamation of 2023 and look ahead to 2024.
The Tramways Band was fabulous entertainment performing a mixture of Christmas carols and songs that had most members up dancing and singing. It was a wonderful evening for all who attended. A heartfelt thanks needs to be extended to the Tramways Band and the members who helped organise such a fun night out for all!
The new club motto — no one left behind — exists to preserve the remarkable legacy of Harold Edward ‘Pompey’ Elliott who was committed to looking after his WW1 soldiers and their families, on the home front.
Peter Barnes, the current Secretary and past member of Tramways East Melbourne RSL Sub-Branch, believes that the new Club is well equipped to be a home that veterans and their families can turn to for help and enjoy social outings like the end-of-year function. The committee is focused on honouring and caring for those who have sacrificed so much for their nation and their families who are impacted by war.
Into the future, we welcome our Emergency Services people to become members. People who serve our communities and seek connection with others who understand their struggles.
Peter Barnes, Club Secretary
