St John's Ambulance members will be in attendance.

Catering details:

The WBHA committee has accepted the kind offer of the Norton family to provide a sausage sizzle, tea, coffee, water and soft drink cans on the day at a low cost.

The committee trusts you will support the Norton family in appreciation for allowing us access to historic Overnewton Castle.

In the event of wet weather the sausage sizzle unfortunately will not be possible, and you will need to bring your own lunch, or pop down to the Keilor village shops.

The West Bourke Heritage Association was formed to provide a showcase for the heritage groups in the region west of Melbourne, using the old West Bourke Electoral District boundaries to define the region.
