An Anzac Day concert received high praise at Monday's Dannevirke Community Board meeting.
Dannevirke and Districts RSA president Roly Ellis wrote to the board thanking it for its donation to the RSA of $440 from proceeds of the concert.
"It was a thoroughly enjoyable production and goes to show how much talent we have here in the Dannevirke District, especially among some up-and-coming youngsters, not that one would take anything away from the older generation."
The concert was organised by community board chairman Ross Macdonald and his wife Gloria and attracted an audience of around 300.
The money raised was considerably down on previous years and this was thought to be because of Anzac Day falling so soon after Easter, meaning many people were still away.
