Morning Tea to be served. Anzac Day Anzac Day is a very special day both in Australia and New Zealand. The anniversary of the Anzac day is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by New Zealand and Australian forces during the First World War. On 25th of April 1915, forces landed on Gallipoli so 25th of April became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of soldiers who had died in the war. Many people think 25th of April is the day the Anzacs suffered great loss of life at Gallipoli but they were not evacuated until December of the same year. In 1916, The 25th of April was 1 ANZAC Dawn Service at the Cenotaph 6 AM. 11 AM Service in the Memorial Hall. We hope to see all of Lilydale at our ANZAC Day Ceremonies. officially named as Anzac Day. In 1917, the word Anzac meant someone who fought at Gallipoli but later it came to mean any Australian or New Zealander who served or fought in the First World War. During the 1920s, Anzac Day became established as a national day of commemoration for the Australians who had died during the war. Every state observed some form of public holiday on Anzac Day for the first time in 1927. By the mid-1930s, all the traditions and rituals we today associate with the day were firmly established as part of Anzac Day culture. Anzac Day was first commemorated at the Memorial in 1942, since then, it has been commemorated at the Memorial yearly Every year, the ceremony takes place at 10:15 am in the presence of people such as the Governor General and the Prime Minister at the Australian War Memorial. The short dawn service starts with a drum roll. A typical Anzac Day ceremony includes first of all an introduction then respectively the National Anthem, hymn, prayer, an address, laying of wreaths, a recitation, the Last Post, a period of silence, either the Reveille or the Rouse, and the final act is that of a drum roll again. As a part of ceremony, families put red poppies beside the names of relatives on the Memorial’s Roll of Honour but Poppy Day itself is usually the Friday before Anzac Day. After the dawn service, a traditional ‘rum and coffee’ is served along with an Anzac Biscuit to give people a chance to talk and reminisce. The 25th of April 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day. Thousands of people attend Anzac Day at Gallipoli each year and Turkey is expecting over 100,000 participants at the Anzac Day Dawn services in Gallipoli Turkey in 2015. A combined Dawn Service is held at Anzac Cove .

Kidney Disease Screening - a UTas Research Project. Utas is researching a screening process which can be done at community pharmacies throughout Tasmania, to see if kidney disease can be detected early in people at risk of developing kidney disease. Utas is recruiting 600 participants throughout Tasmania for this study and about 20 from the Lilydale district.
Some of the risk factors for developing kidney disease are;
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Heart disease or stroke
Obesity
Smoking Family history of kidney disease. If you are interested in participating, call in to the pharmacy and ask for an information sheet
for more detailed information. You may be eligible for the study if you are aged between 50 and 74, have one of the above risk factors, and have NOT been previously diagnosed with kidney disease.
The screening test at the pharmacy is free, takes about 20 minutes and you will need to bring your medicines or a list of medicines with you. What is kidney disease?
Kidney disease occurs when the nephrons inside your kidneys, which act as blood filters are damaged. This leads to the build up of waste and fluids inside the body. Kidney disease can sometimes lead to kidney failure. If kidney disease is found early, medications and lifestyle changes can increase the life of your kidneys. If the kidneys fail completely, they don't often recover. Kidney failure, also known as end-stage kidney disease, occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to adequately remove waste from your blood and control the level of fluid in the body.
People with kidney failure need dialysis or a transplant to stay alive. Kidney failure can happen suddenly or gradually. If you have kidney disease, it does not mean that you will develop kidney failure. One in ten
Australian adults aged 18 and over (approximately 1.7 million people) has at least one sign of chronic kidney disease and over 20,000 receive dialysis or a kidney transplant for kidney failure.

10 Facts about the ANZACs
1. ANZAC is an abbreviation of The Australian and
New Zealand Army Corps.
2. April 25, 1915, was the day the ANZACs landed
on the Gallipoli Peninsula, now known as ANZAC
Cove to battle the Turkish army during WWI.
3. More than 11,000 ANZACs died on the
Gallipoli Peninsula, despite only being there for 8
months.
4. The original ANZAC biscuit was known as an
ANZAC wafer or tile and was part of the rations given
to ANZAC soldiers during World War I. They were
included instead of bread because they had a much
longer shelf life.
5. ANZAC was originally named the Australasian
Army Corps. However protests from New Zealand
led to the adoption of Australian and New Zealand
Army Corps. Administration clerks found the title too
long and adopted the abbreviation of ANZAC.
6. Despite being affiliated with Australia and New
Zealand, ANZAC included officers from Britain, Ire-
land, India, Zion, Ceylon and the Pacific islands.
7. “Lest We Forget” is a phrase popularised in
1897 by Rudyard Kipling, which was adopted as the
final line of The Recitation along with the
"Ode of Remembrance", taken from Laurence Binyon's
"For the Fallen".
8. The last surviving ANZAC, Alec Campbell, died
on May 16, 2002 – A State Funeral was held in Hobart.
9. The ANZAC Bridge was given its name on
Remembrance Day in 1998 to honour the memory of
the ANZACS. An Australian Flag flies atop the eastern
pylon and a New Zealand Flag flies atop the western
pylon.
10. Today, the ANZAC Battle Group is an active
battle group of Australian and New Zealand units.

Bringing Back the Memories
This month is a little bit about Lilydale 125 years ago. This article appeared in the Daily Telegraph (Launceston) on the
5th June, 1890. As Lilydale correspondents do not appear to be plentiful just now, perhaps a few lines may find a place. Lilydale must
be looking up, to judge by the new buildings which are in progress, not the least conspicuous being Messrs Bardenhagen and Love’s new sawmill, and there are also
several private buildings in the course of erection. Monday, the 26th inst., being a public holiday, the Wesleyans decided to have a big day to celebrate the laying of the foundation stone of their new church, and as it proved fine
a large number of Launceston friends supplemented the local friends, and at 1.00pm assembled to witness the event, which was kindly performed by Mr Wm. Sidebottom, MHA,
who declared the stone “well and truly laid” and was followed by the Rev. F. Neale, of Launceston, who made an exceedingly appropriate speech. He was followed by the by
the Rev. G. S. Lloyd, Mr Frank Archer, and other gentlemen. Donations towards the building fund were then invited, and liberally given. Mr Sidebottom heading the list
with 10 pounds, nearly 30 pounds laid on the stone. After the ceremony all adjourned to the hall, were an abundance of eatables had been provided by the ladies, and full justice
was done to the good things. The rest of the day was devoted to various games, in which young and old thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Messrs Bardenhagen and
Proctor were to the fore in providing entertainment for the little ones, and succeeded in getting up a long programme of juvenile sports, consisting of Consolation Stakes. As the
evening wore on, the lights in the Mechanics Institute warned us that the concert was about to commence, and, going over, we secured seats and were treated to a splendid
programme of vocal and instrumental music, interspersed with recitations and speeches. The new organ kindly given by Mrs Gibson was used for the first time, and proves to be a splendid instrument. The programme was a long one, and
where all did so well it is scarcely fair to particularise, but I cannot pass Mr Von Bibra’s splendid performance as soloist and accompanist, in which he fairly brought down the
house. Master John Orr, of Underwood, electrified us with his recitations, and the Underwood choir gave some excellent selections.
To be continued:
Question: What is referred to as ‘Consolation Stakes’?, this
is a new one for me.

We meet every Wednesday (except school holidays)
at 10am in the hall behind the Uniting Church Hall.

All down to everyone working together! North Lilydale Bridge This is still on schedule for April.
