开云体育Hi All, ? Now we know when Gala Day is and therefore the date of the Friday night reunion we can start planning ours. I have confirmed with Bollo that the reunion is at the Soldiers Club in Leeton on Friday 15th March. So I rang the Hydro to make the booking only to be told that St Francis class of 74 have booked out the Hydro that weekend …although we could still do dinner there in the Dining Room on the Saturday night – we just won’t have accommodation there. Peter then suggested the Centre Motel which is at 22 Wade Ave for accommodation which is in walking distance of the Soldiers Club so I have rung them and put aside rooms in our name but Roly (owner) did say to get in quick. Phone numbers below. ? So…I think we could still aim for Hydro Saturday night for our dinner…in the dining room where we were in 2019 with most everyone staying at the Centre. The only other accommodation we have looked at is out at the Yanco Ag Institute where they have both motel style rooms and Bunkhouse accommodation…details below. Outside of that try the usual motels in town. ? The Centre at 22 Wade St have put aside rooms in either my name or YAHS 1964-69 Reunion…there are currently 9 Queen rooms and 11 twins. Contact Roly or Angel (daughter) on 02 69559221. The Ag Institute is on 02 69512611 or yai@.... ? ? We will get back to you regarding plans for the Beach Carnival/School tour, anything else for Saturday and breakfast Sunday. ? John & Pete |

Re: 60 year Reunion
开云体育Hi John?The Hydro has always worked so I’m happy with that. Saturday would be preferable for our private dinner but I guess Thursday would have to be the next choice?

Re: 60 year Reunion
开云体育Hello Everyone, ? I plan to be in Griffith on Friday 15th September if that helps planning and I’m willing to travel within the region. The Rankins Springs Centenary is ?being held from Friday 15th September to Sunday 17th September and one day at the Springs will be enough for me and that will probably be Saturday 16th. ? Regards ?

Subject: [YAHS64] 60 year Reunion ? Hi All, ? Trust this finds you all well. Had a couple of people ask where we were up to with our reunion next year. The answer is I am still awaiting the School to settle on the date of Gala Day and hence the Friday night annual reunion. Have been in touch with both the school and Graeme Bollo. Graeme thinks we will know something in a couple of weeks. ? So a couple of questions for what you want to do for next year. Do we want to have our get together at the Hydro again? If not where – open to suggestions. The Hydro owner (Anthony) passed away recently but I understand the business is still going. ? Are we happy to do it on a Thursday if we can’t get the Saturday? Brunch again for the Sunday morning assuming we do Saturday night and where? And will we organise a Partners Dinner for the Friday night and also where? ? And finally, last time we organised a farm visit for one of the days – do we want to look at a similar bit of entertainment? ? At the next local get together of the Riverina boys, I was going to discuss the above given some of the organisation will likely fall to Pete Fraser and John Rees as they are on the ground in Leeton and know the area….so I will have an update once we have that day. ?

Re: David Esdaile
开云体育Thanks John. David Esdaile was too gentle a soul for YAHS. I appreciated him taking myself along with others to Church in Leeton on a number of? occasions. There were a number of young ladies also attended(at least I never had the opportunity to discover they weren’t ladies) This activity ceased when I was spotted slipping away after the service to the shop for a packet of smokes.

Re: Get together on 23rd
开云体育Hi Chris, ? Depending on which way you come into Wagga but if you come the Mangoplah Rd then turn right onto Lloyd Rd (first 4 way intersection after the 80k zone) and drive to the very end and turn left on to Plumpton Rd. Take the next right onto Gregadoo Rd and stay on this to Main St…on the left…think it is two streets after Mater Dei school. Once in Main St turn at right the Mobil servo then turn right again to the Lake Village shopping centre carpark and Mock Orange is just next to Foodworks. ? If you come up the Olympic then turn right onto Red Hill Rd which will be the first right for you after crossing Kapooka bridge.? Stay on that and turn right at the 5th roundabout which should be Lake Albert Rd – follow that past Lake Albert and it swings east away from the lake and keep following it and it becomes Main St so turn left at the Mobil Servo and right into the Lake Village carpark and you are there as per above. Look forward to seeing you Thursday. ? John ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Davis via groups.io

Re: Get together on 23rd
开云体育Hi Angus, ? No worries …bit far to come just for the day. Ok on Kit …he is another whom I have been trying to get over to this list …sent out more invites a week or two back….and only had one response and that was from John Rodd….so if you are speaking with him again can you ask for me? Ta. ? Had a good phonecall with John which kicked me into gear for 2024 J a few weeks back and then had a video hook up with Grahame last week …hasn’t changed one bit…and so yes must have been something in the water. ? And yes? 20224 work will start soon …have to grab some accom if we can plus grab the Hydro for the Sat night. ? And Hi Dave – thanks for the apology and have noted you guys down for 2024 ? John ? Wish I could attend John. My regards to everyone. Kit and Helen Gooley had a night with us down the coast. Both are well and enjoying retirement. Grahame and Bronwyn Morris and John Catterson are visiting soon too. Must have been something in the Yanco water to keep us all together after nearly 60 years. Look forward to 2024 Angus? |
