2024 - Roll Call and Breakfast

 CLICK ON PHOTOS FOR LARGER IMAGES


Despite having a noisy and collegiate time at the Club last night when you had to yell to be heard, we all rocked up to the Hall in dribs and drabs from 7:30am to be greeted by Kylie Whitehead and Linda Giles doing the naming and branding exercise.

Greg Rutherford and Val Barrow did a wonderful job of putting on a marvellous breakfast of pretty much anything we wanted.

And the cleaning up was adeptly handled Ray Wilson and Fred McGlashan – with a few other helpers.

In amongst the formalities, everyone seemed to be busy comparing notes and stories.  Copies of the 1960 Bruce Rock Mob prepared in 2014 were a constant source of reference along with some booklets about schools in the Bruce Rock area - including History of Schools in the Shire of Bruce Rock 1911 - 1988 and Bruce Rock: A Century of Memories.  See the bottom of this page for details of these books.

This editor also spotted a copy of the menu for the weekend.  Greg gives the impression he is making things up as he goes along, but it was all very well planned in his head at least.  It seems the main challenge we face this weekend is consuming all the food stored in the huge fridge – and a special thanks to those who brought various dishes.  They were all delightful.
