Hi John and everyone,
We are thinking of a nice driving holiday as we come out of the heavy restrictions, so Ariah Park would be a great stopover on our way to the Riverina.
Hope the pub can accommodate us all.
Sad to realize we are no longer bullet-proof.
But, medical science ?is getting better all the time, so there is hope for me yet. Lol.
Fond regards to you all.

Hi Angus - that'd be great and yes will keep you all updated. I can't recall Ariah Park having a motel - most likely the only accommodation would be the Pub but Chris would know more. There is a motel in Coolamon and of course in Temora
- both within coo-ee and Wagga is only an hour.
As you say we can have an 'organ' recital - although I think some of us want to pick your respective brains regarding a couple of the 'memoir' bits. Anyway - all the best with Urologist and maybe a dietician might be the go to lower the Cholesterol - worked
for me.

Hi All - again, hope this finds you well and that Chris Davis and Dave Stott are all improving. They're the only ones I am aware of that have been on the sick list recently.
I have sent out an email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get
together somewhere around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park.
When I have a date and confirmation of venue I will put out another
email in case any of you outside the area want to come across.
These get togethers are always a good fun day out.
Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you all. As you may
be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to get him
to write up some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better
than many - LOL. The Covid shutdown gave him the impetus and he has
been very diligent...some might say that Messrs Bladwell and
Thompson would have been proud of him :0). Suffice to say that
sometime between now and our next reunion in 2022 we should have
something for you to read. I anticipate the end product will be a
collective effort and if you are interested in contributing your
memories let me know as they too can be added in. So start winding
back your memories 50 something years back and jot down some of
your memorable moments. Things that come to mind are your 1st year
experiences, the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances,
dances, gala days, dorm raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc.
List could be endless. I have quite a few photos as well. I do not
envisage a published tome but more something to be printed and
bound and left for you to reminisce and perhaps left with your
descendants to read.
And finally, some questions - in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else as those two dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill
Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's worth somewhere. So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were in that year and the prefect.
John

We were housed in some kind of National Park dormitory accommodation, and after dinner, when no doubt the teachers opened the bar, a few of us snuck out and walked to a pub a couple of miles away.

And finally, some questions - in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else? as those two dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's worth somewhere.? So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were in that year and the prefect.
John ????

Hello Alan
Doyle; I had heard about your gammy leg but did not know you were now a
wheelchairer. good on you for being so positive and continuing driving and
being social etc.
Just to fill
you (and anybody else who is interested). Dorm 7, starting from the left
side looking in... K Furner, S. Aughey, A. Doyle, K. Broomfied, D. Evans.
From the right side of the door... G. Brain, J. Eyles, R. Elwin, B.
McCormack, C. Semmler. Howard Briggs was prefect... you must remember the
deep philosophical discussions about his never-ending supply of chicks and
birds.
And yes
JE.... I would bet that it was Alan Ruby who was prefect of Dorm 8 and in
the corner dagging hole. Chris Davis, you might confirm this?? Some time ago
I had Alan Ruby in my mind but for some reason I dismissed him.

Now, Dorm 7 - if you were across the room, then maybe Greg Brain was near

Hi
Alan,

Firstly, sorry
to hear about the leg – that’s not good but hope you are otherwise OK. Are
you still in Deniliquin?
?
Dorm 7 was
closest to the Dining Room – and Alan Rub? I never thought of him – be
interesting to see other reactions to that. Interesting about your thoughts
of Gardiner 5 &6…let’s see what others have to add – I for one certainly
cannot remember…and I think I was in Dorm 7 as well – 2nd on
right (I think). And OK on Alan Ruby…interesting – I know Howard was there
somewhere

??????????????????????????????
To answer your Question regarding 1968 - ( I thought That'll be easy - Ha )
, I was in dorm 8 - or was it 7 ??? - the one closest to the dining room
anyway !!!?? and slept near Kel and Dino ( so they can confirm ) .
I suspect Alan Ruby may have been our prefect - but am open to
corrections.
????????????????????????????????
Weren't there other 5th formers in dorms? 5 & 6 of Gardiner House
???
??????????????????????????????
I ran into a bit of trouble (not literally ) in 2016 and had my leg
shortened again and ( to cut a long story short ) (-sorry about the pun )
ended up in a wheelchair.So although I wont be able to make reunions, Its
still good to hear how everyone is getting

Hi all

Hi All - again, hope this finds you
well and that Chris Davis and Dave Stott are all improving. They're the only
ones I am aware of that have been on the sick list recently.
I have
sent out an email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get together?
somewhere around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park. When I have a date
and confirmation of venue I will put out another email in case any of you
outside the area want to come across. These get togethers are always a good
fun day out.
Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you
all. As you may be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to
get him to write up some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better
than many - LOL. The Covid shutdown gave him the impetus and he has been
very diligent...some might say that Messrs Bladwell and Thompson would have
been proud of him :0). Suffice to say that sometime between now and our next
reunion in 2022 we should have something for you to read. I anticipate the
end product will be a collective effort and if you are interested in
contributing your memories let me know as they too can be added in. So start
winding back your memories 50 something years back and jot down some of your
memorable moments. Things that come to mind are your 1st year experiences,
the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances, dances, gala days, dorm
raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc. List could be endless. I have
quite a few photos as well. I do not envisage a published tome but more
something to be printed and bound and left for you to reminisce and perhaps
left with your descendants to read.
And finally, some questions - in
1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was
Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes
out the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else as

Hello Alan Doyle;
I had heard about your gammy leg but did not know you were now a wheelchairer.
good on you for being so positive and continuing driving and being social etc.
Just to fill you
(and anybody else who is interested). Dorm 7, starting from the left side
looking in... K Furner, S. Aughey, A. Doyle, K. Broomfied, D. Evans. From the
right side of the door... G. Brain, J. Eyles, R. Elwin, B. McCormack, C.
Semmler. Howard Briggs was prefect... you must remember the deep philosophical
discussions about his never-ending supply of chicks and birds.
And yes JE.... I
would bet that it was Alan Ruby who was prefect of Dorm 8 and in the corner
dagging hole. Chris Davis, you might confirm this?? Some time ago I had Alan
Ruby in my mind but for some reason I dismissed him.

[YAHS64] Couple of things
???????????????????
Yep, I am still in Deni, And doing fine really. A bit limited, but still drive
and can get around town with a wheelchair hoist on the roof
?????????????????????????????????????
I am lucky to have a good group of friends and we all catch up regularly, plus a
son and 2 daughters who are really supportive.
??????????????????????????????????????????
Now, Dorm 7 - if you were across the room, then maybe Greg Brain was near you
(??? ), with Barry McCormack a little further down on your side. Also, I dont
think there was more than 9 of us in the one dorm
???
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hi Alan,
?
Firstly, sorry to
hear about the leg – that’s not good but hope you are otherwise OK. Are you
still in Deniliquin?
?
Dorm 7 was closest
to the Dining Room – and Alan Rub? I never thought of him – be interesting to
see other reactions to that. Interesting about your thoughts of Gardiner 5
&6…let’s see what others have to add – I for one certainly cannot
remember…and I think I was in Dorm 7 as well – 2nd on right (I
think). And OK on Alan Ruby…interesting – I know Howard was there
somewhere

To answer your Question regarding 1968 - ( I thought That'll be easy - Ha ) , I
was in dorm 8 - or was it 7 ??? - the one closest to the dining room anyway
!!!?? and slept near Kel and Dino ( so they can confirm ) . I suspect
Alan Ruby may have been our prefect - but am open to
corrections.
????????????????????????????????
Weren't there other 5th formers in dorms? 5 & 6 of Gardiner House
???
??????????????????????????????
I ran into a bit of trouble (not literally ) in 2016 and had my leg shortened
again and ( to cut a long story short ) (-sorry about the pun ) ended up in a
wheelchair.So although I wont be able to make reunions, Its still good to hear
how everyone is getting along.

Thanks Leonie – that’s great news – make
sure to tell him to keep the exercise up no matter what J and can you ask him whether he was
there in 5th form and then if so – what dorm he was in and who the
prefect was if he can remember.

Hi all
?
Dave had his hip replacement op on
2/6/2020, came home on the 4/6/2020. Had had enough of hospital.? He is
going great guns. Has his 1st proper rehab session today. Bit sore
now.
?
Glad to hear you are improving Chris.

Dave can’t tell you who the prefects
were – not his dorm sorry.

Cheers

Hi All - again, hope this finds you well
and that Chris Davis and Dave Stott are all improving. They're the only ones I
am aware of that have been on the sick list recently.
I have sent out an
email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get together? somewhere
around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park. When I have a date and
confirmation of venue I will put out another email in case any of you outside
the area want to come across. These get togethers are always a good fun day
out.
Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you all. As you may
be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to get him to write up
some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better than many - LOL. The
Covid shutdown gave him the impetus and he has been very diligent...some might
say that Messrs Bladwell and Thompson would have been proud of him :0). Suffice
to say that sometime between now and our next reunion in 2022 we should have
something for you to read. I anticipate the end product will be a collective
effort and if you are interested in contributing your memories let me know as
they too can be added in. So start winding back your memories 50 something years
back and jot down some of your memorable moments. Things that come to mind are
your 1st year experiences, the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances,
dances, gala days, dorm raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc. List could be
endless. I have quite a few photos as well. I do not envisage a published tome
but more something to be printed and bound and left for you to reminisce and
perhaps left with your descendants to read.
And finally, some questions -
in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was
Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out
the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else as those two
dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo
there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce
Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's
worth somewhere. So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were
in that year and the prefect.
John
