Ahead of ANZAC day 2021, many RSL sub-branches have looked forward to having semi-public gatherings.

Dimboola RSL President Brian Bosworth said he looks forward to hosting a service that was "as close to normal as possible."

"We are extremely fortunate at Dimboola that we are able to join with Dimboola Memorial Secondary College to return to the normal format of our ANZAC day commemorations," he said.

"We do not take this lightly and feel fortunate that we can once again return to a level of normalcy."
