"It's normally pretty big for us anyway," Boorowa RSL sub branch secretary Belinda Hewitt said.
"We've got the schools participating, marching, the schools doing a couple of speeches at the 11am service.
"So there is a bit of an increase (of support and participation) over the years," Ms Hewitt said.
The Boorowa sub branch is currently putting out a call for new members.
"If anyone wants to be a member they should email me," she said.
Ms Hewitt's email address is boorowasb.@rsl.nsw.org.au
