16 - Two Renunions in One Year!

Now look - if you don't come I will show you where these tongs can go!!

In late September we started receiving emails about a second reunion of the 1960 Bruce Rock Mob.  We were all still glowing with the success of our July reunion when our intrepid organiser/tour leader Kylie Whitehead scheduled yet another event for November 14th.

The 'excuse' this time was to celebrate Michael Kilkenny's trip to Perth from Queensland - but judging by the numbers that turned up and the noise we all made we hardly needed a reason to meet.  Shouting to get yourself noticed was the order of the day . . . pretty much like being the in playground all those years ago! And did you notice how many of the photos in which Lynette McGellin appears - was she like this at school? We wonder what our parents would make of all this . . . and how much we all look and sound like them!

We were all very grateful to John and Sue Urbaniak's offer to open up their lovely new home in Willetton . . . a fine place for a barbeque, chat and a few reflective drinks!  Thanks very much for your kind hospitality John and Sue.

The only hanging question is - when and where next??

Please let us know if you have any more photos that could be included . . .

Just One More Thing . . . 

How is that the 'best bloke' who lives the most distant was the only one to front up?  Ray Wilson, the 'colt from Narembeen', listed the harvesting season as an excuse - which is about as weak as Fred's 'gardening leave'!  Who knows what Kevin and the other Neil were up to??  Thanks guys, I really appreciated your support . . .


Hangers On in July
