Volunteers create rosemary and red paper posies to lay on soldiers’ graves on Anzac Day, April 25.
They will be making more than 4000 posies at the facility next Friday.
RSA Welfare Trust administrator Sally Turner said it would be ‘‘quite poignant’’.
"It is always a nice atmosphere during the posy-making sessions - everyone enjoys a good chat and shares their memories."
