RAAF
School Reunion
BULLETIN BOARD
Had a great night at Gaythorne RSL. Talked
to some people I hadn't seen in 30 years or more. Had a short yarn to
Chris Hays and an even longer one with Eion Campbell. got told off by
Cathy Campbell for sitting at table with arms folded haha, like I was
listening (not). Had great night though and enjoyed myself. though to
busy Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning to go to Soutbank. I enjoyed
the reunion formally. You know they say things change, with time, mostly
its true. But our colective memories of RAAF School Penang doesn't and
our lives we spent in and around the School itself will remain with
us for the rest of our lives. and that never changes. Reunions like
the one I saw and experienced in Brisbane left me a little meloncoly
the next day, but I am glad I went to the reunion in Brisbane. Now a
word to Mellisa my neice. If you want more early 80s people turning
up at reunions it's their fault for being such slack rabbits not turning
up at a reunion haha. The decade of the 70s RAAF brats rule haha. What a wonderful Reunion, so great to
see all those 'kids' again. A few of us carried on our Reuion weekend
down the Gold Coast at Cathy Campbell's home. A magical time. Thanks
Cathy for your hospitality and your friendship, and David, Greg, Julie
and Fiona, keep in touch. love Kerry Oh what a night late sept 19__....late
march 2004..oh what a night!!..was sooo good..come along everyone next
time and you will know what i mean...or any questions..ask me..hi ewen!!..or
ask ewen...yahooo!! Had a blast at the reunion. It was great
to catch up with the Amos sisters and chat about common things - like
our pet monkey "Cheeky". Also to talk to people who had been
there. Unfortunately I only met one person who would have been in my
class, albiet for a short period. Weirdest thing to happen was to be
asked how my eldest brothers are going. Amazing. I really enjoyed the
evening and look forward to Penang Loved the reunion it was a great night
the only mild dissapointment was that there was not enough early 80's
people there. All in all though a great night Well another one bites the dust. What
a great night, but it was all over too soon. I already have my bags
packed and ready for the next big one in Penang. Hopefully I will see
many of the same faces there and a few more old/new ones. Thanks so
much to all who organised the Brisbane reunion you did a fantastic job.
Bravo. A big thanks to all the people who organized
the Brisbane reunion.It was a really great night. It gave me the chance
to meet up with old friends that I haven't seen for over 26 years and
that was the best. The whole weekend was just wonderful. Would love
to do it all again in the near future. Thanks again. Thanks to all who organised a terrific
nite. Met up with a few friends, and made contact with others in my
year (some of whom I don't remember), and now have contact details for
more old friends. The venue, meal, music and atmosphere were fantastic.
Hope to attend many more such reunions. Thanks Trish. Thanks to the Brisbane reunion committee,
the venue and dinner were both excellent and the slides and memorabilia
really took me back to those care free days. Five great days in Brisbane
sharing memories of those times with my ex classmates and meeting people
I knew from other RAAF bases. It’s a tightly woven web we RAAF
brats are part of. Penang 2005 sounds good to me! Thankyou to the organisers for a most
memorable reunion. This has been my 4th reunion and they are getting
bigger and better "what has Penang have in stall for us?"
Great to catch up with all my old friends after all these years and
will continue the conversations in more depth when we next meet in Penang.
Please take care and continue to spread the word and hunt for our unique
little group. Great to be in a room where you did not
feel a delinquent because of the number of schools attended. Thanks. Yet another fabulous reunion..we really
appreciate the efforts of those who put their heart and soul into organising
these reunions...loved the music, it wasn't too loud but in the background
so that we could still hear it and talk ..as there is a lot of talking
at these reunions..to those who didn't come you must next time..we have
ALL got older to look at..but our eyes are still the same..again a big
thank you to the ones that made it happen..and to those that i caught
up with it was absolutely fantastic to be with you again..see you at
the next one!.."chicken bones"..will you be posting the photos
of the party after at the irish pub?... These reunions keep getting bigger all
the time. We had a record 205 people attending this one! I for one had
a wonderful time and I know that most of us did as well. The accommodation
was brilliant at the Riverside Hotel - a great reunion, a great weekend.
The best part was seeing everyone again, the "gang" and other
new faces I haven't seen for 30 odd years. Great to see you all and
already looking forward to our next reunion!
