Why is the Ode played at 6.00pm?
At 6.00pm every evening, club patrons and staff observe a minute’s silence while a recording of the Ode of Remembrance is broadcast. This Ode commemorates the Australian servicemen and women who have tragically given their lives while serving their country.
What does the Ode mean?
The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon which was published in London in the Winnowing Fan; Poems of the Great War in 1914.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
