MORE CAMP 64

I think I heard Janice say, "Nothing surprises me about that lady..." - Marion. Sorry if I have misquoted you Janice. Great outfit Marion.

It's amazing who you could find in the kitchen!! Even this bloke.

Our friendly Marriage Celebrant Rob Hughes at his van.

Nola, complete with new knee, had some artwork on display. Knee got a good workout on the pee an Nola!!

The lovely Lucy doing some clean up work. It sure was a busy kitchen.

Janice is always happy. Great to spend time with her. She and Bernie are regulars at the WWTC gatherings.

Judy, Fay and Wendy. Amazing.... I think I took them all out... individually of course! Wonder if Doug whizzed them? He certainly claimed to have connected with quite a few ladies while at college.

Signage reeks of Sue King... maybe help from Marion. Well done. They were also the entertainment.... or some of it anyway.

Thanks Sue for these photos also.

CAMP 64 ENTERTAINMENT

One of the highlights was the bonfire (once again). It was every bit as good as the one 2 years ago.

"Ken Howard" in his BVDs and drinking Shelleys Lemonade, called a race for us. I think Fanny and Mozza (horses) were up near the front when the race finished. Thanks Dino.

Ethel and Mavis aren't getting any younger, and an aging wheelchair had to be employed on this occasion. They entertained with their usual flair. Well done... again.

Graeme and Doug led the chainsaw gang. Lynn and Dino were always on hand and Bernie even finisbhed up on the roof (doing a needed sweep of leaves there.) Gra Wright did a bunch of whipper snipping which was a bonus. There's still a heap of timber here if you need some. Contact Marion.

An excellent rendition of The Man From Snowy River was delivered by Rob Hughes - who spends a bit of time these days as a Marriage Celebrant.

Relaxing as usual was the Giles team - David and Lynne (Lyn/Lynn?) They're busy nowadays building as one of their offspring is returning home I believe. Might get him to come down to Cudmirrah!

Graeme O'Brien chats up Anne McKibbin. Porbably explaining the difference between speering and whizzing, Anne was voted Rookie of the Year. It was her first appearance with the mob. Wonder whether she'll return?

Merv studying the various heritage listed material on show. He and Helen are hoping to get to WA later this year.

And here's everyone else! Enjoying a great lunch presented by outside caterers. A great move. Tucker was great, supplemented of course by local donations.

Sue and Gerd King chat with Graham Wright.

Here's the O'Brien style on the chainsaw. Well done mate. Maybe a better effort than some of the Aussies in whites appeared to give at Lords yesterday.

All in all a great time was had by all. Congrats also to Jan and Jim Smart who are in Townsville spending time with Jade Elizabeth - their daughter Emily's first child.

If you need any chainsaw work done contact Ludwig or O'Brien.

Thanks Graeme O'B and Marion for some of the photos.

If you've got one you want to shove here, email it to me, with a note/story. Good onya.

CAMP 64 - FALL IN

We sure warmed up the PEE an NOLA on Fri night. Everyone was in good voice.

Of course Judy and GOB had some serious chat to air...

...and Fay and Lucy shared a bit of info too.

Meanwhile I managed to snavel a few spare ladies who were enjoying themselves.... before I came along.

The men had time to talk travel tales as Van shared his tripping and Rob his extended (thirteen?) trips to just about everywhere.

Marion, as matriarch, read some clippings from the Wagga paper some 45 years ago. Even Fay had never heard about the honour system. Suzie looks on intrigued. There were recollections of whole dormitories being "gaited" for the weekend. I didn't remember that bit

It was initially a bit difficult to find a spot to sleep.... even in one's own avan!! One thing they taught us at college.... always be ready!!! Certainly handy information.

Looking forward to more collambience today as Semples, McKibbins, Lamberts, Smiths and others arrive.
