Hello to all the 60’ decade peer year coordinators. Firstly I would like to thank all ten of you for offering to act as peer year coordinators for your respective starting year cohorts.
?
We only have two weeks before bookings close for the NRL Grand Final luncheon to be held at the Wagga Rules Club on 27th September. A great opportunity to catch up with some of your mates from
55-65 years ago while listening to three outstanding Yanconians who excelled in each of three of the major winter sports in Australia.
?
The Foundation would appreciate it if you were able to push out this opportunity over the next week to try and muster up final numbers to ensure the day is a great success.
?

?
David Barnhill (1981-1987)
Dave attended Yanco from 1981-86. In 1987, he moved to Canberra and made 41 top-grade appearances for the Raiders from 1989,?including two grand finals.
He then moved to St George, playing 112 games over five seasons.?Dave concluded his NRL career with the Roosters, making 58 appearances, bringing his NRL first-grade game total to 211. ? ?
He finished his career in the UK Super League with Leeds, playing 33 games. Overall, Dave participated in five first-grade grand finals (four consecutively), attaining one victory with Canberra in 1990. ??
Dave became part of State of Origin folklore during the 1995 series when he went blow-for-blow with Billy Moore, endearing himself to Blues fans forever. He appeared for NSW 9 times and represented Ireland at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup
|
|
Peter Green (1987-1992)
Peter stands out as one of the few Yanconians to have participated in three University Shield finals, achieving victories in both 1990 and 1992. A
naturally gifted athlete, Peter excelled in all sports during his time at Yanco and made history as the school's first-ever AFL player.
At the end of 1992, he joined the Sydney Swans, but a knee injury forced him to miss the entire 1993 season. In 1994, Peter entered the AFL draft and was selected by Carlton as the 35th pick, though he only played one game for the senior team.
The following year, he moved to Central Districts in the SAFL, where he spent three seasons competing in the top grade..
|
|
?
Jim Douglas (1952-1956)
Jim was born in Sydney and attended Yanco Ag for five years and School Captain in his final year.
Upon leaving school he won a scholarship with the Rosella Co. and undertook a two-year course at Hawkesbury Agricultural College. Jim then moved to Melbourne and eventually linked up with the Melbourne Club in the Rugby Victoria's Premier Club Competition.
?
In 1961 he debuted for Victoria and the following year ran out for his state against the All Blacks. Jim was then invited to the Wallaby trials for the return tour to New Zealand.
In a series of dour struggles across a week of matches, Jim was a shining light in the 'Probables' vs. 'Possibles' trials. The press of the day wrote that the matches "could almost be forgotten except for the performance of Victorian right-winger Jim Douglas.
A "don't care" attitude seemed to prevail and only his grit and determination on the flank made the crowd sit up and take notice. When the side was named the following day Jim, "with a dashing game" in the trial, had won a spot in the squad.?
In the first test Bruce Harland was unable to take his place due to an ankle injury, Jim Boyce shifted to outside centre and Jim was called up for his Test debut. His form improved as the tour progressed and duly held his spot for the final two Tests. ?
In 1963 he played for Victoria against South Australia a week before the Wallaby trials for the tour to South Africa. Unfortunately, he broke his collarbone and was ruled out of contention. Remarkably a year later he broke a bone in his wrist during a club
match that made him unavailable for the trials ahead of the tour to New Zealand.
Jim played three Tests for Australia in a one-year international career. He is Wallaby number 477 and to date, Yanco's sole Wallaby representative.??

Hi All,

Hope this finds you all well. This morning I received a strange email from Mark. It suggested an email exchange between us as it said Mark had laryngitis and the flu. I have seen these scams before so I rang him and sure enough he doesnt have any flu symtoms and could speak :0) and he didnt send the email. I also got one from Keith Broomfield? an hour or so later asking whether I knew what was going on and indicating he too had received the same email. I have suggested to Mark to reset his passowrd on his email account and set up two factor login.
?
So if you receive something like the above - just delete.
?
Mark also suggested what a few of us were thinking anyway and that was to look at say two year reunions instead of the current five year ones - we may look at something for 2026. And for the riverina locals I will be looking to have a local get together in October some time and will email that out toward the end of September. Gee, the damn year is getting away on us :0)

Think you mentioned that on Saturday night. Great idea , those two ladies who squired us round the school were exceptional. The bus trip was very comfortable, not like over the edge up in the Snowy’s. Cheers Dave ?

Subject: [YAHS64] Reunion just gone. ? Hi All, ? What a great weekend. Started off at School on Friday for morning tea, then a McCaughey walking tour then on the bus and around the school and then down to the Middle Beach for the Beach carnival and lunch and following the Ironman race we returned to school for a walking tour. Many thanks to the YAHS staff who hosted us and made us feel special. ? Friday night for the OYU Dinner - a great night and good to catch up with some of our older peers. Saturday we had a leisurely coffee catch up and then out to School for Gala Day. Lots of nostalgic walks around the school. The Graffiti in the feed shed adjacent to the silos is still there and viewed some very old names up on the rafters. That's about all that's left now of the farm from our day and I don't think the silos are filled with pea trash anymore  . ? ? Mid-afternoon it was back to town to get ready for our dinner at the Hydro. A good roll up and a most enjoyable evening that finished for some of us around 11pm. I hope Col Semmler had his pencil in hand jotting down some of the reminisces to add to our memoirs. A most enjoyable round of speeches and reminisces. I believe a couple of others (no names) might have batted on until the wee small hours. ? Sunday morning we again all met up at Stir (coffee) for breakfast and last farewells. Hopefully everyone had a safe trip back. We did officially agree to doing the 65th in 2029 but there were some later suggestions going around about having something in three years so watch this space. ? Had apologies from Graeme Foley, John Irwin, Steve Aughey, Col Smeeth, Mark Briggs, Adrian Varcoe, Keith Broomfield. Otherwise between the two events and besides myself, we had Angus, John Fowler, John Catterson, Kel Furner, Dave Stott, Col Semmler, Rod Martin, Don Dyce, Bill Moncrieff, Doug Williams, Dave Sanderson, Geoff Fox, Chris Davis, John Hartnett, Al Wetten, Grahame Morris, John Rees, Chris Davey, Neil Crawford, Greg Brain, Paul McMahon and Pete Fraser. Total of 23…so not too bad and would have been 30 if all the apologies had made it so I think we did pretty well. ? All the photos sent to me and what I took can now be viewed here /g/YAHS64/album?id=293821 . Note that you will most likely need to login to view. For those not on my main mailing list, please email me and I can send you an invite to join.

Hi John I’m sorry to say that I am a late withdrawal for Saturday and Sat night. I have been practicing with the Albury Wodonga pipe band for about 4 years and they have asked me to play with them on Saturday at the Wodonga show. I’ve been keen to be included in the band and so it’s really important to me that I accept the opportunity and play with them. Sorry to be such a late withdrawal. ?I’m booked in for Friday night, see you then. ?
