After a rainy night where they slept in the Geurie Memorial Hall, the marchers rose early to enjoy breakfast provided for them by Geurie Lions Club.
The marchers left Geurie at 7 am.

Coo-ee March 2015 Re-enactment 
good morning Helen
I’m watching the March with great interest and waiting to celebrate the Orange section. My grandfather’s brother, Bernard Ambrose Coyte, was a Coo-ee member. A number of the Coyte extended family will be in attendance.
I’ve had correspondence with Jan Richards and Trudie Mayfield from the Orange Library. Trudie had information about Bernard Ambrose confirmed by Jenny Kingston (Coyte), who has researched Bernard extensively. I know that Jenny is following the March online and was disappointed that she wasn’t well enough to participate. I also passed on information compiled by Fiona Coyte, for her Coyte Family book 2006, on relatives that served in WW1.
Jan Richards informs me that someone will be speaking about Bernard Ambrose Coyte at the Ceremonny at the Cenotaph. We will await with interest.
thanks again for the great effort to all in celebrating this Re-enactment Coo-ee March
