The 2014 "unplanned" reunion took
place again at the Kirribilli Club and was prompted by news that John
Pym would be visiting Australia from his base in Hong Kong. Many thanks to Sarah and Jan for alerting the group.
Twelve originals plus six partners/family turned up. No apologies for using the girls' original names.
Janet Green and Graeme Wilson. Susan Keating Sarah Neal James and Pat Denny John and Margaret Fullagar Frank Hatherley Guy and Lyn Parsons Dick Pollitt John Kable David Cohen Brock and Anna Bryce John Pym and sister Rosemary
A
good rollup, considering the short notice involved. Apologies from Lyn, Ray, Andrew, Brian, Ross, Elizabeth and John Hirst,
and we were
pleased that Brock made a phone call to Valerie (wide awake at a
pre-arranged 2am for her), many managed to have a few words.
Dick was refused entry to the club
because he lived too close. Anyway that was fixed by Dick joining the
club for the princely sum of $15, which he'll probably save anyway with
member discounts if he visits a couple of times.
We
were surprised by how well David looks after his health horror stories
that we all endured via email. So keep that good health going, David,
and I hope some of it rubs off on us.
Here's
some photos from the day, didn't take as many as I should have due to
my early departure because of a sudden eye problem (hmmm, David's
magic didn't work)....

You can sort out who they are. Great Sydney views out that window, basically overlooking Lavender Bay.
