ANZAC Day 2025 – Lest We Forget
Each year on 25 April, we come together as a nation to honour the service and sacrifice of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served in military operations, beginning with the ANZACs who landed at Gallipoli in 1915.
ANZAC Day holds a deep place in the heart of our country. It’s a time to reflect on the courage, endurance and mateship of those who served, to mourn those who were lost, and to acknowledge the ongoing impact of war on veterans, families, and communities.
At Fitzroy Community Club, we pause today to honour the men and women – past and present – who have served our country with bravery and commitment. We recognise the emotional legacy of war: the memories shared between comrades, the pride and gratitude of those who remember, and the grief carried by loved ones left behind.
From Gallipoli to present-day deployments, we remember those who gave everything, and those who returned forever changed.
We are grateful for the freedoms we enjoy today and remain ever mindful of the cost of peace.
Lest we forget.
❤️💛💙

🏏Special Cricket Update🏏
Further to yesterday's announcement congratulating Raheel Raghib, it gives us great pleasure to announce that last night Nick Raymond was also awarded Life Membership of the Fitzroy Cricket Club.
Since arriving at pre-season training in 2017, Nick "Texta" Raymond has been a great friend to us all and an incredible servant to the cricket club. Nick has played 129 matches for the club, never missing a game, notching seven half-centuries and a highest score of 91.
Texta is a dual premiership player, having represented our A-Grade side in the successful back-to-back campaigns of 2017-18 and 2018-19. He served as President of the Fitzroy Cricket Club during a difficult time in 2020 thru 2023 and is the founder of the Junior Cricket Program which is now beginning to feed players into our senior ranks. Texta is a Bill Hards Trophy winner, an A-Grade batting trophy winner and Best Team Man trophy winner, and his life membership at Fitzroy adds to the life membership he has been awarded by his junior club at Coromandel.
Fitzroy Cricket Club would not exist without Nick Raymond. At every turn, the enjoyment of others is his first thought and he continues to provide hours of volunteering and support to the cricket club. We are privileged to know him and call him our friend and team-mate. Congratulations Texta!
