Hi John,
Sounds wonderful. Really looking forward to catching up with everyone.? Wow 40 years !!!
Great excuse for a long drive from the "Deep North" of NSW, down though the East Coast, through the ACT, a big swing to Melbourne, then back to Wagga, Leeton, Griffith and more....
P.S. Must include a few wineries in this exercise, lol.
Fond regards,
Mark & Debbie Briggs.

Subject: Yanconians' Foundation Update - Peer Year Coordinators?

Dear YAHS Peer Coordinators,As you may be aware the OYU Foundation has launched an appeal to raise $10,000. These funds will enable two senior students to receive a Citizenship Scholarship.?
This is a new initiative and one that we believe will have a lasting benefit not only for the recipients but also for the communities in which they will be working and living.?
Our world needs good citizens and YAHS is blessed to have had many pass through its gates, as well as, having some amazing young people who have already demonstrated outstanding citizenship qualities.? These scholarships will acknowledge and benefit these students. |
|
? To be brutally honest, thus far donations to the crowd funding appeal have been very slow.?In fact, only 6 alumni members have contributed (and notably from only 5 peer groups – 1950, 1958,1959,1962 & 1969).?
So, we need your help!? Can I therefore I please ask that you rally the members of your peer group to donate to this worthwhile appeal? ? |
|
I have also included (see below) some further information which? is on our website but feel free to use all or some of it to communicate the worthiness of this appeal to your peer group members. ?
I am also available should you require any further information and/or provide useful feedback regarding the Foundation and OYU activities. Email me on ()? ? ? ?
Thank you for the time and effort that you put into ensuring that your peer group remain connected. ? ?
Kind regards,
Erin Draper

? Hi All, ? We had a local catch-up over at Leeton on Friday. A great catch up but forgot to get some photos. Good attendance with John Rees, John Irwin, Chris Davis, Neil Crawford, Kel Furner, Don Dyce, Doug Williams, Col Smeeth, Bill Moncrief and me. ? We had a chat about our next local get together which we decided on 16th November over at Temora so chuck it in your diaries if you are in the area and want to join us. At least part of the day will be a visit to the Temora Aviation Museum but more on that closer to the day. ? We also had a chat about 2024 60 year reunion – yes, you read that correctly – next year marks 60 years since we fronted up to YAHS for our 1st Year and of course we celebrate that milestone with anyone who joined us along the way. You will be aware I put out an email earlier regarding accommodation and how the class of 74 from St Francis beat us to the punch at the Hydro. Anyway I booked in our Saturday night dinner get together at the Hydro and in the Dining Room where we were last time and I allocated some rooms at the Centre motel in walking distance to both the Hydro and the Soldiers Club. ? So…the itinerary at this stage is. We will aim for a school visit on Friday morning, BBQ lunch and trip to the Beach Carnival. Friday evening will be the OYU Reunion at the Soldiers Club and we will look to having a get together for partners at one of the local restaurants.. Saturday morning we thought that we should all head over to the Malthouse at Whitton for morning tea and lunch and then back to school for Gala Day. Then as mentioned, Saturday night dinner with partners will be at the Hydro. Sunday morning come join us for a brunch before heading home. ? Following is a list of people who have told me they are coming: John E Angus Mark & Debbie Briggs Graeme Foley John Fowler for Saturday only Neil Crawford John Catterson Kel Furner Dave Stott Col Semmler Rod Martin John Irwin Col Smeeth Don Dyce Bill Moncrief Chris Davis Doug Williams ?- Saturday night only Dave Sanderson & wife..both nights Neil Crawford Geoff Fox Chris Davis both nights John Hartnett & wife Al Wetten Graeme Foley - APOLOGY ? So, 23 plus 3 partners. If you are coming and I have missed you off the list, please get back to me. I think we had around 45 at the last one so hopefully some more of you might put up your hands – it would be great to catch up again as I suspect that the years are going to catch us up and we may not get too many back in 2029. ? All the best ? John E
