Hi All,

Hope this finds you all well.

Next year as you are probably aware is the 100th anniversary of the School. At our last reunion I asked whether we were interested in having another getogether then. It is just 12 months away so I thought I should put out some feelers. I can imagine that accommodation will be very tight so if we do plan on doing something you might need to book now.

Anyway - get back to me if you are interested. I would think that other than say a dinner or breakfast somewhere for us and partners outside of the Friday night activity - I doubt we would be doing too much else.

Hi All,

Thanks to those of you who have responded. I have been on to the school and discussed with them their plans and also with Graem Bollington re the OYU plans.

So - the date for Gala Day 2022 is Saturday 12th March. The day will kick off around 9am and go all day culminating in a dinner at the school. At this stage I am not aware whether it will be by invite only although my contact at the school advised me that while there would be some invites, tickets will be sold and she has taken my email address to keep me in their loop and I have promised to keep her informed of ours.

Talking with Grame Bollington - he advises me that based on the numbers at the previous milestone events they are looking at least at 600 people attending. The only venue they have that will cater for that many is the Yoogali Club in Griffith and that is where the reunion will be held on Friday 11th March. Under Covid rules as they stand up to 750 people can accommodated.

My thinking at this stage is that I would at least try for the Friday night and get accommodation in Griffith, aim to have a get together over Saturday breakfast and head out to Gala Day. If tickets were available I may stay for the dinner - it really depends on whether the school limits those tickets to invited guests or not. If we were not going to get a gurnsey there we could easily organise our own dinner again - and if that's the preferred option I need to book fairly quickly and get some accomm booked in Leeton as well.

So...please respond back to me reasonably quickly whether a) you are coming, b) do you wish me to do some block booking of accomm for 1) Fri and 2) Sat night and finally c) do you wish to have our own dinner on the Sat evening. Once I get an idea of our collective thinking I will get back to you all again.

Looking forward to some responses

Please book us in for Friday (Griffith), Gala Day Saturday and accommodation that night (Leeton). Perhaps the Hydro again for another great party?

Cheers,

Hi All,

Got a phonecall from Col Semmler today to let me know that Chris is back in hospital for an extended stay down in Melbourne. I am sure you will join me in wishing him well for a speedy recovery.

Also he tells me that Nona Dart (wife of Ray and mother of Elizabeth and Brendan) has passed away at 94.

All the best - John
