Class Get-together - 26th June 2010

We started the morning with a handful of us visiting Northern Suburbs Crematorium, to visit some classmates no longer with us, we located and paid respects at the niches for Helen Siggers, Greg Jones and Greg Mitchell. There is still another four to locate their memorials.

Karen brought some flowers for each and we stopped at each niche and had some thoughts and exchanged a few funny stories about them.
Attendees were Karen N, Anna B, Chele T, Jenni F, Mary T, Steve B and Brady H.

Then we proceeded to Brookvale Pub to meet up with the rest of the gang at lunchtime
and it rolled on to about 6pm. We had about 18 attend this time.
The hot topic was who was still 49yo ? only a few left.

Now it is September, we have all rolled over to 50.

Attendees: Anna F, Karen N, Anna B, Mary T, Chele T, Sally C, Jenni F, Karen I, Jenny D, Louise McM, Kerry R, Peter M, Stephen H, Steve B, Trevor M, Brady H, David LeF, Stuart L

Apologies from: Paul B, Tim B, Michael F, Annette D, Judi D, Sharon M, Kim O, David H, Rob K.

Added some new photos of the BeaconHillBoys surfing and "BHB State of Origin" weekend at Lennox Head last May, onto Flickr.

Class of 1977 - 50th Birthday Bash

Hi everyone,

we have been talking about doing some sort of big gig for the people in our class, since we missed celebrating the 30th reunion (the year our class culminated as Year 12 HSC), we thought it wise to have a big get together for the next big thing, being our 50th birthdays.

Our individual 50th birthdays occur over a period of almost 2 years, some hit 50 at end of 2008, some do not hit 50 until August 2010, so rather try and have several, we would just have a representative party for all, somewhere in the middle, hence the end of 2009 was the chosen time.

I ran a bit of survey a couple months ago to gauge from people when would be a suitable time, to fit in with the majority of people being available and being able to get to Sydney (for those living out of Sydney).

The overall choice was for a Saturday afternoon, in November, I presume this makes sense for people flying in from interstate, being able to fly in Sat morning, stay Sat night and fly out Sunday.

We formed a small committee from people who have been coming to “Get-togethers” that we have had over the last 18 months down at DY RSL, to decide on a venue where we could hold our 50th birthday bash.

What we have come up with is to hold it on Saturday afternoon, 28th November, in a place in Brookvale, it is close the bus route to the city or Manly.

Cost wise, probably around $20 / head (excludes actual drinks), we decided to keep this just as “Student only” event for our class, it would become too bigger event if we had everyone’s partners come along too, but that could change depending how many people can attend.

This is for all students from “our class” and it does include those who left Year 10 1975.

email me asap if you can attend, so we get numbers.
