WA and SA

I’ve just had a great time – Fay and I have had a great time in Perth and Adelaide. In Perth we caught up with Cynthia (Richardson) Springvloed. We had a nourishing barbie in Kings Park. Great to catch up with Cyn (pictured above) and her man Kommer (good bloke). A trip to Perth without seeing our Cyn wouldn’t be the same.
When we returned to Adelaide, we caught up with Di (Edwards) Groenewegen (harder to photograph) and Merv (and Helen) Smith. Di has lived in Adelaide for over 20 years. The Smiths (who live in Sydney) were just doing the grey nomad thing. Interestingly enough Merv was in the same section as Cyn.
All five folk I mentioned (Cyn, Kommer, Di, Merv, Helen) looked fabulous and it was really good to catch up with them even if it was for just a short time.
It’s a fair way over to the west and because of that we don’t expect to see Cyn or Di over east any time soon. For example, all Di’s rels now live in Adelaide. I can remember fondly many times at 435 Condamine St Manly with Di and her brother and her parents. Di’s Mum June lives with Di in a neat suburb near the water.
Damn! I forgot to check whether Merv and Helen were gonna be at Marion’s gathering on July 14/15. No, I think we did discuss it – and I think they’re gonna be there. Are you coming? Marion Giddy would love to hear from you.

MARION'S PLACE

Dear Ex-WWTC heroes!

I propose to hold a reunion BBQ at my home on Saturday 14th (or maybe 21st-back-up date) July this year. I thought I should give you lots of notice so that you can pencil it into your diary now. Overnight accommodation can be negotiated. First in best dressed. I haven't worked out the details of this event as yet - but it will be a B.Y.O.G. occasion. Other details will depend on the final number of acceptances. I plan to have a twilight bonfire to dispose of the debris that has accumulated on this property for the last few years. Don't worry, we'll have a couple of 'fireys' present. I would love to have you here. Bring caravan, winnie or tent if you wish. Plenty of room.

Please pass this on to other WWTC folk whose email addresses are not with me. I would welcome an expression of interest. Can you please email me a brief message:
"Yep, Count me in" or
"No. Sorry can't make it" or
"Not interested. Don't contact me again"

Best wishes to all.

Marion (Smith) Giddy
