The club will be selling RSL poppies and is inviting anyone from the community to head along to the cricket club at Shell Road Pavilion on Thursday November 9 for dinner.
It’s $15 per person for dinner and dessert commencing at about 6.30pm.
Head along to meet the senior cricket team and listen to guest speaker and Ocean Grove local Michael Sloane, who is a former army commando and military lawyer, talk about cricket and Australians at war.
RSL poppy badges will be on sale with all proceeds from the sales going to Veteran welfare.
