Yes John

Planning to be there, have booked room, have a few medical unknowns. Off to Sydney next week for a trebulectomy on the left eye. Hopefully that will reduce the chances of me becoming a grumpy one eyed old fart.

Presume wives and partners are welcome at the Sat. dinner.

Will try to catch up on the phone shortly.

Cheers

Dave

Hi All,

?

Now we know when Gala Day is and therefore the date of the Friday night reunion we can start planning ours. I have confirmed with Bollo that the reunion is at the Soldiers Club in Leeton on Friday 15^th March. So I rang the Hydro to make the booking only to be told that St Francis class of 74 have booked out the Hydro that weekend …although we could still do dinner there in the Dining Room on the Saturday night – we just won’t have accommodation there. Peter then suggested the Centre Motel which is at 22 Wade Ave for accommodation which is in walking distance of the Soldiers Club so I have rung them and put aside rooms in our name but Roly (owner) did say to get in quick. Phone numbers below.

?

So…I think we could still aim for Hydro Saturday night for our dinner…in the dining room where we were in 2019 with most everyone staying at the Centre. The only other accommodation we have looked at is out at the Yanco Ag Institute where they have both motel style rooms and Bunkhouse accommodation…details below. Outside of that try the usual motels in town.

?

The Centre at 22 Wade St have put aside rooms in either my name or YAHS 1964-69 Reunion…there are currently 9 Queen rooms and 11 twins. Contact Roly or Angel (daughter) on 02 69559221. The Ag Institute is on 02 69512611 or yai@.... ?

?

We will get back to you regarding plans for the Beach Carnival/School tour, anything else for Saturday and breakfast Sunday.

?

John & Pete

Thanks John

Hi All,

?

Trust this finds you all well. Had a couple of people ask where we were up to with our reunion next year. The answer is I am still awaiting the School to settle on the date of Gala Day and hence the Friday night annual reunion. Have been in touch with both the school and Graeme Bollo. Graeme thinks we will know something in a couple of weeks.

?

So a couple of questions for what you want to do for next year. Do we want to have our get together at the Hydro again? If not where – open to suggestions. The Hydro owner (Anthony) passed away recently but I understand the business is still going.

?

Are we happy to do it on a Thursday if we can’t get the Saturday? Brunch again for the Sunday morning assuming we do Saturday night and where? And will we organise a Partners Dinner for the Friday night and also where?

?

And finally, last time we organised a farm visit for one of the days – do we want to look at a similar bit of entertainment?

?

At the next local get together of the Riverina boys, I was going to discuss the above given some of the organisation will likely fall to Pete Fraser and John Rees as they are on the ground in Leeton and know the area….so I will have an update once we have that day.

?

Hello Everyone,

?

I plan to be in Griffith on Friday 15^th September if that helps planning and I’m willing to travel within the region. The Rankins Springs Centenary is ?being held from Friday 15^th September to Sunday 17^th September and one day at the Springs will be enough for me and that will probably be Saturday 16^th.

?

Regards

Hi All,

Looks like our next local get together will be on 23rd Feb in Wagga so if you are in the area for any reason, let me know and come and join us. Plan is to meet up for coffee over at Lake Albert village shopping centre from about 10 on and then we will head over to the Boat Club for lunch.

Anyway get back to me if you are in town and want to catch up.

John

Hi Chris,

Depending on which way you come into Wagga but if you come the Mangoplah Rd then turn right onto Lloyd Rd (first 4 way intersection after the 80k zone) and drive to the very end and turn left on to Plumpton Rd. Take the next right onto Gregadoo Rd and stay on this to Main St…on the left…think it is two streets after Mater Dei school. Once in Main St turn at right the Mobil servo then turn right again to the Lake Village shopping centre carpark and Mock Orange is just next to Foodworks.

?

If you come up the Olympic then turn right onto Red Hill Rd which will be the first right for you after crossing Kapooka bridge.? Stay on that and turn right at the 5^th roundabout which should be Lake Albert Rd – follow that past Lake Albert and it swings east away from the lake and keep following it and it becomes Main St so turn left at the Mobil Servo and right into the Lake Village carpark and you are there as per above. Look forward to seeing you Thursday.
