THE iconic Train in the carpark of St Marys Diggers Club, how often have you driven past and thought “I wonder what it actually is?” or “What is it that goes on there?”  Saturday 21st September is the day that you can find out. VVAA St Marys Outpost Veterans’ Centre is opening its doors to the public, and all are welcome to come to see what goes on.

We will have some of our veterans who used the APC and the artillery on the grounds to answer any questions that you may have. We will also have those who worked on the Railway answer questions about the carriages and the engine.  

There is a lot for the kids to do as well, there will be free face painting, balloons, plaster painting and a competition to Name our Tank Engine. There will also be a sausage sizzle and memorabilia that can be purchased on the day.

Between 11am and 12pm we will have our Trainwrecks guitar group play a gig live. The Trainwrecks are all veterans who play regularly together and have a following on our social media. Well worth the effort to come on down and see them play in person. 

The Open Day will be Saturday 21st September, 10am to 2pm. We are all very excited to open our doors and welcome you all.
