OTU ASSOCIATION – VICTORIAN CHAPTER

                                Warning Order

        Forthcoming Events – 22 and 25 April  2016                           

Dear Scheyvillian, I am writing to let you know of two important dates in this year’s calendar of events.

Annual Dinner

Firstly, as the Class 1/70 Reunion is to be held in Melbourne over the ANZAC Day long weekend we will be holding the Annual Dinner a little earlier this year on Friday 22^nd April. By doing so they will be able to join us for this splendid event.

It will again be held at the William Angliss Institute of TAFE, 550 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne at 6.30pm (1830 hrs!) for 7.00pm (1900 hrs).

ANZAC Day Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Remembrance

Secondly, we will once more be parading under the OTU Banner in the ANZAC Day March to the Shrine of Remembrance. Following this we will adjourn to the Toorak Services Club for lunch. Wives/partners are also welcome at the latter.

Could you please put these two dates in your calendars.

Further details will be made known as they come to hand.

Chairman, Victorian Chapter OTU Association.

Scheyvillians,

The Spirit of Anzac Experience (SACE) opens in Melbourne at Jeff’s Shed from Mon 8 Feb, go to web site for free tickets:

http://www.spiritofanzac.gov.au/

This is a perfect activity for a pre-lunch two-hour visit then head to the RACV Club in Bourke Street, for the Victorian Chapter monthly lunch, (See the OTU website for details).

The last shell fired at Gallipoli and much more is on display. In many ways the crown jewels of the AWM. I am an Envoy for the project and tickets are required through the web site but are free.

Cheers

Tim Fischer

Dear Scheyvillian,

The OTU Association will again be sponsoring young gentlemen and ladies (16 – 17 years of age), to January’s respective Lord and Lady Somers “Big Camps”. We have been invited to witness first-hand the different activities and to join in with the “groupers” as they are known, and the staff, for lunch.

The days for doing so are – Lord Somers 11^th, 12^th and 13^th of January and the Lady Somers 18^th, 19^th and 20^th.

Dress is casual, shorts and sun hat being essential.

I am firstly calling for those who would like to take up their invitation to visit one of the camps and secondly, to let me know which day would best suit. By so doing we can make suitable travel arrangements and coordinate our attendance with the LS&PH people.

I would be grateful if you could let me know by no later than Friday 18 December.

It’s always a good day and well worth the visit. Further details are given below.

Kind regards,

Frank Miller
