DENILIQUIN BRANCH LUNCHEON Di Whittakers (Moore, Cl’63) and David Gove (M’53) – ably assisted by their spouses John Whittakers and Muffi Gove – organised another successful Deniliquin Branch luncheon for members of the OGG and Geelong Grammar School community in the Deniliquin region on Saturday 10 September. More than 40 people gathered in the Conargo Hall, ranging in age from grandparents of current GGS students to the small children of past students. Christine and Stephen Meek, Principal, along with Tony Bretherton, Director of Community Relations, attended from Corio and were chuffed to head into the Conargo Pub afterwards to get a mandatory sticker to mark the trip. Stephen spoke to the group about current GGS happenings and future plans. Many thanks to Di and David for organising the lunch but a note to all – David has issued a challenge to the younger generation of OGG in the region to take on the organising for the next Deniliquin event scheduled for 2013.
CHRISTCHURCH GATHERING Henry Santipongchai (FB’75) organised the first small OGG gathering in Christchurch on Friday 22 July, where he was joined by Bill Perry (A’80) and Jane Kelman (Lamb, He’70). Tragically, Bill died suddenly a week later from a meningococcal infection. He is sadly missed by the Geelong Grammar School community.
RIVERINA AND NORTH EAST LUNCHEON Stephen Finaly (P’63) and wife Susie organised a wonderful lunch at Lindenwarrah, Milawa, on Sunday 11 September. Around 30 members of the OGG and wider Geelong Grammar School community heard Stephen Meek, Principal, speak about the School. Eileen and Dan Connell (Cu’44) who are past parents and current grandparents of GGS students, travelled from Cobram to attend both the Deniliquin Branch lunch the day prior and the Riverina/North East Victoria event. Others travelled from around the region, from Wagga Wagga, Mansfield and Khancoban. Thank you to Stephen and Susie for another terrific, country OGG event and thanks to everyone who attended.
