Inaugural Open Day

You may have seen the short article in The Leader about our Inaugural Open Day last Sunday, 23 November. It was a conjoint event by our sub-branch, the Barossa Historical Vehicle Club and the Barossa Motorcycle Club.

If you are a member who receives our Weekly Digest, you would also have read something about it in Wednesday's Digest.

There's not a lot more to say here other than that it was a success for an inaugural event but needs some fine tuning for future events.

We're planning on making our Open Day at least an annual event, probably once again in November.

We were very fortunate that The Clubhouse CEO Jack Ferrett donated 100 cooked chicken and pork ribs meals for the event. We added some salad, bread and refreshments and provided a nice meal for $15.

Everyone we spoke to said they had enjoyed the food, the company and the day. However, we believe we could have done better and will focus on doing just that in 2026.

Thank you to The Clubhouse  (Not forgetting the cooking team who cooked in situ), the Barossa Valley Historical Vehicle Club and the Barossa Motorcycle Club members for joining us and helping make our day special.

Our Inaugural Open Day - 23 November 25

The Hut will be closed from Friday 12 December 25 until 30 Jaunary 26 but you can still contact us by email or by letter to our postal address PO Box 384 Tanunda SA 5352. 

We are holding a community Open Day and hope that if you are in the Barossa Area you will visit us.

At the RSL Tanunda Sub-Branch we're excited because this is the first event of this nature in the history of our sub-branch (club).

Not only that, the Tanunda Clubhouse is donating a number of chicken meals that will complement that of our club to provide a great lunch for visitors for a very reasonable price. $15 will get you a plate of chicken and a variety of accompanying salad.

The Barossa Valley Historical Vehicle Club is partnering with us and will have numerous of its vehicles at the Tanunda Recreation Park. 

It's going to be a great Sunday! Do come and join us.

Take a look at our memorabilia - see if there are any photographs or mentions of your ancestors - talk with members and ask us questions about the RSL. We look forward to seeing you.

Children are welcome under supervision.
