Dear All,
Our final lunch for the year is on Wed 12 Dec at 12.30 in the Bistro RACV Club 501 Bourke St Melbourne.Just mention to the doorman that you are on our table booked under Cooper and move straight in to the Bistro on the right.As always, smart casual attire, good humour and tales of great or imaginary achievements are expected. Christmas cheer is a requirement:)I have opted for the two course festive menu at a cost of $45 per head plus drinks.
We have been granted a subsidy of $10 per head by the Vic Committee so that will help.
We also have $15 that was surplus in our Oct lunch- every little bit helps.I will ask Ian Kelly to distribute to the Vic membership at large.Given the seasonal demand could you please make every effort to email your acceptance by Friday 7 December to the email address below.
Our Christmas Lunch – Wed 12 December
OTU Warning Order – 2020 Reunion
Early Advice – 2020 National Officer Training Unit Association Reunion
Dear Scheyvillians, towards the end of July we conducted a survey of the national membership seeking views on the possibility of holding a reunion in 2020. Input was requested on its location, the most appropriate time of the year and format. It received an excellent response with over three hundred and fifty replies.
The vast majority were in favour of having another national get together. Furthermore, New South Wales was preferred over the other states with October being the most popular month.
Finally people opted for the two main events – a formal mixed dining in night and a picnic luncheon at the Scheyville site.
Accordingly, it has been decided to hold an OTU National Reunion during the period Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October 2020.
The Executive is most fortunate in having Dick Adams (3/72) agree to coordinate the event.
In essence a formal mixed dinner will be held at the Hawkesbury Race Club on the evening of the Friday and a picnic luncheon at Scheyville on the Sunday. Saturday 18thOctober will be reserved for individual classes to hold reunion activities.
With the two main functions taking place in the Windsor area it is envisaged most people will opt to stay in that area over the weekend.
Further details, including timings and accommodation availability will be published shortly in the “Scheyvillian” and on the website.
At this stage we would ask that you pencil 16 – 18 October 2020 in your diaries.
Best wishes,
Frank Miller
National Chairman, OTU Association
Monthly Lunch – 14 Nov
Dear All,
Our next lunch is on Wed 14 Nov at 12.30 in the Bistro RACV Club 501 Bourke St Melbourne.
Just mention to the doorman that you are on our table booked under Cooper and move straight in to the Bistro on the right.
As always, smart casual attire, good humour and tales of great or imaginary achievements are expected.
As we have the benefit of another member voucher I would expect the total cost will be $35 or less.
I will ask Ian Kelly to distribute to the Vic membership at large.
Reminder: our end of year Christmas lunch will be on 12 Dec and we will enjoy the seasonal fare.
Acceptances by Mon 12 Nov would be appreciated by reply email.
Cheers and Best Regards
Brian
