Reunion update

Reunion update on progress. Two stubby holders have been designed and currently awaiting proofs. Also Cap has been designed and we will show these as soon as we receive digital copies. A shirt has been chosen and still working on the wording/design for these We have also chosen to have a commemorative plate made, and we have designed this also and will display when available. Negotiations ongoing re visit to Bandiana Musuem and permission to hold a service at the Vietnam Memo...rial Site. Should not prove a problem. Anyone wanting to donate for raffle prizes and/or auction items, please feel free.

Caloundra Reunion 2014

First official notice for Caloundra reunion 2014

Reunion Caloundra

2014

G’day all,

At a meeting held this week we finalised some of the major points for the 2014 reunion. Most of the decisions were made using feedback from the questionnaire sent out by Terry late last year. We know not all will be happy with what we have come up with but we have done our best given the information provided.

Dates

The dates for the reunion are as follows:

10 February 2014 To 15 February 2014.

The dates were arrived at due to:

·         The best weather conditions through the year

·         The finish of the school holidays and

·         The best tariffs available.

Accommodation

We recommend one of two parks:

The Caloundra Waterfront Holiday Park or Golden Beach Holiday Park.

The Caloundra Waterfront Holiday Park.

Resort and Holiday Units

It would be impossible to list or recommend this style of accommodation here, as there are so many and at all price ranges. We have listed below two guides which will assist.

http://www.sunshinecoast-australia.com/

http://www.informationcentres.com.au/sunshine-coast/?k=sunshine%20coast%20information&a=11678965622&s=1&ag=9999

We have also placed below a link to all the information centres on the Sunshine Coast.

http://www.visitsunshinecoast.com.au/travel-information/visitor-information-centres

Registration

Attached is a registration form we would like you to fill out and return and soon as you can. A small commitment fee of $5 per family is required not per person. The form will assist us in planning, so a quick return will help.

Memorabilia

Memorabilia will be limited to a Cap and Stubby Holder as stated in our previous email. As soon as we have the design and price sorted out we will send out a return form for the purchase of the items.

Events

It has been stated by members that we tend to Over-Organise things and that members never had time to spend in their smaller groups (hut group, year of service). So this reunion we will be trying a self-pacing week of events. In other words you organise your own day. The Power Boat Club will allow us to have a “Happy Hour” (or two or three) at the completion of each day. (This will be a free can and wine bar, depending on the how much we drink determines the length of time the bar stays open) In this way we will be able to meet in fellowship and discuss or recommend outings for others. We will have staff members from other clubs, pubs, taverns and tourist attractions at our registration day to assist you to plan your week.

Reunion Dinner 

The reunion Dinner is to be held at the Power Boat Club. We will send out a separate notification on the dinner with cost and menu. However, depending on how much we spend on the happy hours and how we go with the raffles, we will try to put as much over the bar as we can. That is our commitment to you.

Raffles

Once again we will be running raffles to help subsidise the reunion. To that end, if you have any prizes we can use please contact:

·         Cathy Schultz  07 5494 7800

·         Angela Mohr  07 5438 2402

Australian Military Vehicle Museum

About the museum

Welcome to our Museum, which is operated on a volunteer basis by members of the Military Vehicle Preservation Society of South Australia. The Society is one of many Military Vehicle Clubs across Australia and throughout the world and its members are dedicated to the preservation of vehicles that are of military origin.

G'day all,

Following is the text of a email that went out on the 16 Jan 13:

G’day all,

I We am sorry for the test emails you are receiving I am in the process of fixing my email group listings. Take it from me, never change you computer system without having a backup copy of your address book, enough about that.

All going well within a week or two I will be able to give you concrete info on the next reunion . What I can tell you is:

• The reunion will be in Caloundra
• Accommodation will be the Caloundra Waterfront Holiday Park ( The old Hibiscus caravan park). Please don’t ring as yet as final arrangements and dates have not been made. However, following is their web site so you can have a bit of a look. http://www.caloundraholidaypark.com.au/
• Dates, some time between school holidays and Easter 2014.
• Reunion dinner at the moment will be at the Caloundra Power Boat Club, http://www.caloundrapowerboat.com.au/ if they are not booked out. There are plenty of venues that will take us on. More to follow.
• The dinner is the only official event we will organising, the feedback from the last reunion is telling us we over-organised the event. There are plenty of things to do and places to go on the Sunshine Coast it would be impossible to please all so we will be leaving it up to you. http://www.visitsunshinecoast.com.au/travel-information/visitor-information-centres This web site will give you all the information you need about the Sunshine Coast. We will have people from some of the venues at the registration so you can have a bit of a chat with them.

I will try and get the blog site up and running, I am having some trouble with it. I will inform you when it is going. Please pass this info on to anyone you know who is not on the internet.

Feel free to contact us through email any time with any ideas you may have.

We hope you are all well

Reunion Committee

We are back.

We have received a number of concerns regarding the lack of information on the blog. We were going to hand the blog over to the new committee however owing to the sad passing of Moira Crowe Les has asked us to take over the committee duties.

Terry Byrne is at this moment in the process of doing another mail out which you will receive in the next day or so. Please take the time to answer the letter so we can get the next reunion back on track.

RIP Tony Smallbon

G'day Mates

It is with great sadness I must advise you of the passing of Rev. Tony Smallbon. Tony passed away peacefully at 0120 this morning after a long battle with cancer, today was his birthday. Tony was with the Platoon from 10 May 67 to 9 Apr 68. I know Tony was doing his best to make the reunion however it seems that Jesus Christ has work for him to do in another place. Our thoughts are with Tony's family during this time.

I will let you all know of the funeral arrangements as soon as they come to hand.


Lest we forget.

Sincerely

Mohrie

Standown Park Visit

A few of us who made the trip north to Standown Park had a great time, will worth the trip north. We enjoyed the company of about 100 other Vets from all walks of live and unites. We had the only Banner there and we marched behind it with pride. We are hoping the make the trip again next year and with a bit of luck a few more of us can make it.

On the light side, just take a look at the photo on the left. If that's not "Shorty Edwards" reborn will I'm not here. That's just how he looked in the photo taken at the Wagga Wagga reunion. The poor bugger did'nt know what all the fuss was about.

Not long until the reunion now, all is just about in place and we are looking forward to seeing you all ther.

On a sader note, Tony Smallborn is not very well at all, and is unlikly to make the reunion. He is in palliatave care at the moment and is very sick. Spare a thought for him and his family over the next few days.

Until the next time please stay safe

Carlton Brewery out, Mt. Tambourine in

G'day all,

It has become evident from the returns that the ladies were not happy with the Carlton Brewery trip. With the few people who indicated they wished to make the trip, it was not cost effective to go ahead.

Not to worry. We have come up with a idea we hope will satisfy both the ladies and our members. We are planning a trip to the "Witches Chase" up at Mt. Tambourine. The " Witches Chase" complex comprises of :

Witches Chase Cheese Co.

Mt. Tambourine Brewery

Liquid Amber Bistro and Grill.

They have agreed to put on a special menu for us. The whole day will only cost $35.00 a head. That is a $15.00 saving from the carlton Brewery Trip. There will be plenty of time for the ladies to visit all the other shops in the Mt. Tambourine shopping area. For the people who were with us on the Adelaide reunion, it is much like Hahndorf with all the great shopping for the ladies and plenty of places for the boys to cool their heels. Please take the time to visit the web site and see for your self:

http://www.witcheschasecheese.com.au/index.php?page=31&ssid=27&mid=4

In the next week or so a letter will be going out to All members to officially inform you of the change in program and the admin details for refunds and how to pay for this trip.

Please do not send any money in answer to this email, wait for the official letter.

We hope this meets with your approval.

Reunion Committee.

Apology from Col Walters "Walrus"

Hi Tony,
I am sad to inform you all that circumstances will not allow me and my wife to attend the upcoming reunion. A large family reunion has clashed with that date.

Again I do appoligize and hopfully will be able to attend the next one and catch up to all of you. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

Kind regards
Col Walter

Sorry to hear you are unable to attend "Walrus" but I think we all agree that family always comes first.

We will keep you informed on the next reunion.

Another Motel for the reunion

Tony,

I noticed on the blog, the letter from the Blue Pelican Motel on the prices of their rooms.

I have been in touch with the owner of the South Tweed Motor In where I am staying and he will do a special deal for us.

It is $85 a night for a double room and if we fill his Motor In then he will drop the price.

Compared to the Blue Pelican that is $3 a night cheaper than their cheapest room and the Motor In is just across the road instead of 2 Klms away, this will allow you to drink and not have to drive home.

The address of the South Tweed Motor In is:
9 - 11 Minjungbal Drive
Tweed Heads South
NSW 2486

Phone No; 07 5524 3111

The owners name is Ross Edwards

If you are going to book then mention that you are going to the 2 Tpt Reunion

Regards

Vince Robinson
