Update on the Clock Centenary
Barraba Memorial Clock Centenary 11-11-1924 to 11-11-2024
This coming Monday 11th November 2024 marks Remembrance Day, and our Memorial Clock Centenary. It is believed that the erection of the Memorial Clock which was funded by donations from the Barraba Community could be one of the first memorials to be erected and funded in this manner. Another example of the community spirit and resilience the Barraba people had 100 years ago, and still do to this day.
On Monday, Queen Street will be closed between Alice and Maude Street intersections so that we can commemorate the centenary of our Memorial Clock along with the Remembrance Day Service, music in the mall, a march (all welcome) and window displays which include information posters and poppies. All welcome to lay a wreath if they wish to do so.
We remind the community is not too late to decorate your mailbox, window, veranda, shop counter and/or window will poppies etc to help mark and celebrate the occasion.
Sunday 10th November is the Back to Barraba dinner at the Barraba RSL. Thank you all for making it a sell out! The Poem Competition will be announced at the dinner, thank you for all the entries! (please see the Dinner Program below). If you have booked a seat and are no longer able to attend or have reserved spots for people who are no longer coming, please let the RSL know as they have a waiting list. (02) 67 821 379.
