Subject: [YAHS64] 2021? 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,
I am in the process of pencilling in 20 rooms at the Kidman Wayside Inn in Griffith for the Friday night. I have just sent an email to them to confirm my discussions and am waiting for them to get back to me.
I also rang the Hydro - but we have been beaten to the punch for the Saturday night by Peter Davidson - they must have a milestone reunion perhaps? So we cannot have the dinner or any accommodation there on the Saturday evening.
It occurred to me though that we could do it in reverse. Have our reunion and get together at the Hydro on the Thursday evening previous - this would then allow for a casual Friday - maybe drop by the Beach Carnival and then head over to Gtriffith for the Friday
night and maybe drop in to Gala Day on the way home or get some other accommodation to stay on - that would be up to you guys then to source.
What do we think? I am assured we can get 20 rooms at the Hydro on the Thursday as well as having Dinner.
John E
So - what do you think?

Hi John We have booked into the Hydro for Thursday night and Griffith for Friday night.? We will be attending the dinner on Thursday night. Cheers Dave & Leonie ?

Subject: [Special] [YAHS64] 2022 Reunion - more? Hi All,
Again - beaten to the punch. I have pencilled the last remaining 5 rooms for the Thursday night (10/3/22) at the Hydro - yep, they have been inundated with bookings since I last spoke to them last week. I have also indicated to them that we will be looking for dinner for at least 30 on that evening and will confirm a little further down the track. I have also secured a further 14 rooms (pencilled in) at the Motel Riverina - giving us a total of 19 rooms under YAHS 1964-1969. I personally have booked a twin room at the Hydro as well as at the Kidman - hence the 19 and not 20
If you are going and need accommodation I very strongly suggest that you ring either the Hydro on 6953455 or the Motel Riverina on 69532955 as soon as you can to secure one of the pencilled in rooms.
Once you do that - please get back to me with an indication of numbers for the Thursday night Dinner so I can start locking that in as well. This is clearly going to be a big week :0). I will post here any further updates I see from the OYU.
John
For those not on Facebook - below is what the OYU posted earlier today.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX We are expecting a large number of Old Yanconians to make the trip back for the school's centenary in March 2022. The OYU has decided to move the reunion dinner to the Yoogali Club (Griffith) on Friday evening, 11th March 2022. The Yoogali Club can currently (under covid restrictions) seat about 750 people. Bookings must be made online, through Eventbrite, and paid for in advance of attendance. It is highly unlikely that any ticket sales will be possible at the door as firm catering numbers will be required in advance of the function. The cost will be $60 and a small booking fee will apply. Arrangements with Eventbrite will go live online in another month or so. If you are planning to travel by yourself, you may like to consider arranging Friday night accommodation in Griffith. If you are attending as part of a class reunion group which is staying in Leeton, you might consider car-pooling with your group. Recent advice from the school suggests the following activities are being planned for the centenary: afternoon/evening - Art Show opening at YAHS Friday 11/3/22 - Annual Beach Carnival, probably 9am to 3pm at Middle Beach near the school. Friday evening - Old Yanconians' reunion - Yoogali Club, Saturday 12/3/22 - Gala day Saturday evening - Fireworks over the school lake Saturday evening - By invitation only, centenary dinner at YAHS (no further details available) The OYU will update further arrangements for the reunion and school plans for the centenary on this page, as they come to hand.

Hi John,
Just got last room at Hydro for Thurs10 March. Mentioned we were part of your reserved group.
Booked Kidman for Fri 11th, then Online booked Riverina Motor Inn for Sat 12th.
Their website has incorrect phone. Should be 6953 2344.
Some poor lady is getting calls on her phone (6953 2244).
Cheers,
Mark & Debbie B
