COME AND HAVE A BALL

THE CROMWELL COLLEGE GOLDEN JUBILEE DINNER DANCE Have you booked? Invitations are out, interest is high and seats are filling. Come to this most exciting and eagerly anticipated event. Join us for this special time in the history of the College. Don’t wait, book now, numbers are limited. Any interested person is welcome. We have already had inquiries from grandparents of ex-Collegians and friends of the College. The invitation is for everyone including parents of current residents who want to visit Brisbane and celebrate with their offspring. Any reason to come will do! You can dance the night away to the jazzy tunes of Faded Blues. You can enjoy scrumptious food and reminisce with your mates from years gone by. You can catch up with family or make new friends. Whatever you desire, whatever you feel comfortable doing, this is the event for you, a night to remember. In the invitation we advertised that the Chancellor of the University of Queensland would be attending. Sadly he has withdrawn due to obligations in London. The Vice Chancellor, Professor John Hay has been invited. Included in the celebration will be a PowerPoint presentation professionally prepared to reflect on the history of the College’s past 50 years. There will also be an official unveiling of a portrait of Rev Dr. G. Lindsay Lockley, the founding Principal of the College. The Hilton Ballroom is undergoing a face-lift (just for us!) which will add to the grandeur of the evening and for those who wish to stay, the Hilton is offering reduced room rates at $175/night. When booking simply quote CRO 050604. If $100 seems a lot please note that the College will not be covering all its costs with this price. The College is even covering the G.S.T so please don’t let the price stop you. Start saving now. We would love you to be there So what are you waiting for Cromwellians - round up your friends, partners,
