 G'day and Kia Ora!

ANZWS Ottawa is a not-for-profit organization devoted to the enjoyment of the wines of Australia and New Zealand. Through exposure to, and education about the wines and wine regions of these great countries, the Society seeks to encourage, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, a greater awareness of the wine varietals, the diversity and the styles of Aussie and Kiwi wines.

 Attention Oz & Kiwi Expats:
Anzac centenary ballot to accommodate places for 10,500 at Gallipoli


Attendance at key events - the dawn service, the later Australian service at Lone Pine and the NZ service at Chunuk Bair - has been fixed at 10,500. That's about double the number who attended commemoration events on Gallipoli this year. Under the proposed ballot, 8000 of those places had been allocated to Australia, 2000 to New Zealand and 500 for officials.

Places will be available for surviving widows of Gallipoli veterans, their descendants and Australian and New Zealand citizens.

Registration for the ballot will open in November and close at the end of January 2014. Successful applicants will be notified in March.

See the video and read more at the Australian.
