The RSL is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on public donations, bar, food, memorabilia sales, and membership subscriptions to keep operating.

Periodically we apply for and are sometimes successful in receiving grant funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans SA, and other organisations. These are usually for specific purposes eg, to build an Honour Board Wall and do not cover operational costs.

The support we get from individuals and private companies within the Barossa is excellent. Links to some of our supporters are shown in the right-hand column of this post.

If your company would like to become a sponsor please contact us.

Gather Round Saturday Success

---- Several new static steel servicemen have appeared near our flag pole ... take a look when next you visit the Hut. ---- 

One of the Committee's new approaches is to open on other days and at other times than Friday evenings after 5 pm. 

So far we have opened on Vietnam Veteran's Day and a couple of other occasions and in fact will be having a luncheon on Good Friday. 

Gather Round Visitors and President Babbage

Last Saturday we opened during the Gather Round football event from 11 am until late afternoon and had a large number of visitors come into our Hut. Many simply wanted to use our toilets or view our memorabilia that is displayed in several large glass-front cabinets, others wanted a cool drink on what was a warmish day.

One astute lady told me we could have made a fortune hiring chairs. She pointed out the shortage of sitting spaces around the oval. A couple of others sat in Ferdie's Chair at the front of the Hut for the duration of the game.

Chatting to those who came into the Hut was interesting with people coming from all over Australia just to attend Gather Round. It must have been a winner for Barossa Valley accommodation and other sales outlets as it was for us. 

We're going to continue opening during football and other events and trust this will help to encourage people to visit us, buy our drinks or memorabilia (we sold $300+ worth on the day) and maybe find a few new members.
