It was an evening of great conversation covering the last 60 years and into the future. Andy Aitken, Roddy Crouch, Dave and Tamar Freed, Chris and Mandi Mather, Mick and Sammy Reid.

The food, wine, and service were excellent - from one who prefers empty plates lingering on the table to premature removal whilst some are still eating. 

Thanks to the team at The Lord Dudley, and thanks to my friends for our continued friendship, some of which just reached 60 years, and all of whom remain amongst the nicest people I've ever met. Sammy and I delighted in seeing you all again.

Unbelievably, we enjoyed a cracking evening for eight at the Keg and Brew in Foveaux Street, Surry Hills, and were so absorbed in our discussions that we failed to take a single photo to record the occasion - well not entirely, I took a few photos of the pub..!!!

The roll call was Andy Aitken, Roddy Crouch, Rob Green, Phil Hosking, Paul Kotala, Pete McEvoy, Mick Reid, and Dave Werner. 

It was great to see you all again, guys. Until next time...
 

It was a small coincidental school reunion as we gathered for dinner to honour Mieke Davis' graduation with a double degree from the University of Newcastle. It was wonderful to see the sights of Terrigal again. Thanks for the invitation, Mieke, Peewee and Kathy, it was an honour to be part of your celebrations.

What a cracking lunch at Potts Point Hotel. Great to be back in Sydney, and to catch up with Gibbo, Millsy, Dwane and Dave, with a cameo phone call from Simmo.

With thanks to Feyny and Sydney Brewery for their hospitality.

It's always a delight to break bread with our most wonderful teacher Peter Harwin, who took us for our final two years at Edgecliff in 1969 and 1970. Peter subsequently became Headmastee at Edgecliff until his retirement. 

Terrific catch up.

A small Covid-affected reunion at one of our old hunts in Double Bay. Dave, Gary, Robby, Mark, and Mick - sounds like a 70's pop band.

With thanks to our hosts and the organisers.

Don't know where, don't know when....

A great turnout by an awesome bunch of guys.

Under the illuminating guidance of the nearly retired Dr John, a number of old boys were granted a tour of College Street, including the extraordinary auditorium.

Munro, Stu, Lux, Chris, Monty, and Mick. A highlight was Stu's drive-by brown-eye to the patrons of The Seabreeze Hotel....

A great bunch of people bidding farewell.

A combined event including Hay High.

The first of our stops heading south from Sydney in early 2023. It was the perfect start to our journey, a truly relaxing few days of sightseeing, talking, singing, laughing, loving.

This was a reunion of people, locations, and spirits on the south coast of New Souty Wales, the region where Harry and I visited in our teens aboard my VW pop-top Kombi, on a holidy where Ian played guitar and flute, I sang and wrote poetry, particularly Salted Lips of Time written at Moruya Heads, and we just chilled like genuine '70's hippies.

I had no idea until recently that Harry had photos of that trip, and the only photos I believe in existence of the VW Kombi, so I've included them here. The shorts I'm wearing look like a nappy, probably appropriate at the time.....

A fine dinner at Lorraine's Bistro in The Robin Hood Hotel, Waverley, with the Aitken's, Freed's and Mather's. Wonderful to catch up with guys I've known since we were about five years old, and to enjoy quality time with Alex, Mandy, Tamar and Sammy.

A wholesome (coffee, juice, etc.) reunion at Double Bay, whilst Rob was in town from his home in the USA.

Miss you Stu.

The (admittedly wooden spoon winning) 1976 Sydney High 1st XV, and the 2nd XV, in action.

What an experience, 6th at the 1975 Head of the River, dropping to last place at the Head of the River in 1976 - a creditable 3rd in the Eights race of the CHS in 1976.

A fantastic year of rugby.

With thanks to our fabulous coach Steve Roll.
