Chairman's Welcome From 31 March 2009 the OTU Association (Victorian Chapter) assumed responsibility as the OTU Association (National Committee) from the ACT Chapter. I was elected National Chairman at the Committee's October AGM. Most of us remember our "Scheyville Experience" with great affection. In a positive way it changed our lives and our attitudes forever. The Association was established in the 1980's to ensure the continuation of the memories and to allow Scheyvillians to celebrate their unique experience together. As well, it sought to put something back into the community. The fostering of youth leadership was, and still is, regarded as the most appropriate avenue for this purpose. Our main aims over the next year are to update and consolidate our membership database; update and maintain the website; encourage and support Chapter and Class activities and continue to encourage and support youth development opportunities in each Chapter. It is pleasing that our Quarterly publication "The Scheyvillian" has already resumed circulation. We also intend to determine a clear way ahead for the Association (we are not getting any younger) and will use the National Council to work this through. Input from members would be greatly appreciated. All members are encouraged to use this web site to keep abreast of what's happening in the Association and to update you personal details as they change. To access the 'members only' section of the web site, you need to log on. To do that you go to the Member Log In box. Enter your User Name, which is your Regimental Number and then enter your Password, which is your Surname. If you are planning a Class reunion, or Chapter activity, please send the details through to National Secretary, Roger Nation at this email address. He will post it on the website. The website is only as good as the information it contains. Please use it often, update it as necessary, and spread the word of its existence to fellow Scheyvillians.
