Meeting Point: Saint Martin's Cemetery

Just a little reminder for all those Aussies and Kiwis (and anyone else) out there that ANZAC Day is coming up. For those who don't know, ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) day is a special day where we remember those who have served (and serving) in the Armed Forces.
Friday, 25th April 2008, 11 am


The Australian and New Zealand Consulates-General would like to invite you to the annual Anzac Day service.
The service will be conducted by Reverend Paul Holley at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery located in the Saint Martin's Cemetery, Vevey. Anzac Day is a significant day for Australia and New Zealand. On this day, ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and national pride take place for all our men and women who have fought and died in all wars.
Anyone wishing to attend the service will be most welcome.
Please extend the invitation to others. Light refreshments (including ANZAC Bikkies) will be served afterwards.


Saint Martin's Cemetery in Vevey
If you are traveling by car on the autoroute (direction Montreux) exit at the 'sortie Vevey', direction Vevey. Take the Route d'Hauteville / roundabout / left in to Route de St-Legler and follow this road to the end. Turn right in to Avenue de Blonay, right in to Boulevard St-Martin and the Cimetière St-Martin is at the end of the street. Parking is limited.

If you are traveling by train, you exit the Vevy railway station at the back, up the stairs and follow the signs to the Cimetière St-Martin. The Commonwealth War Graves are in this cemetery.

OK - I think I have done this correctly
A few of us might go for a drink or two after we have eaten all the ANZAC biscuits. We will see how it turns out.
It was a great Service last year and hopefully the weather will behave again this year.
Hope to see a few of you there.

Hi,

Yes. Theres another service in Vevey and also an organised BBQ in Lausanne afterwards. Visit www.swissanzacday.org for more details and to register for the BBQ.

It sounds like it will be a great day with quite a few people.

Looks like swissanzacday.org didn't pay their leccy, the site has been removed.

There should be a service this year in Vevey at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Vevey, followed by a BBQ in Lausanne. Details here:

You'll need to register on the Yahoo group to get the full details as and when they're out.
