BLOKES' CARS IN 1964

Hey do you remember how some of the rich kids at college used to own cars? Well I thought they must've been rich anyway. Would you believe the records show there were TWELVE cars owned by the blokes at college at one stage - I'm tipping 1964, but that's a guess.
jjj
Do you remember who owned them?  Would it help if I gave you some initials? OK...
BL,   JP,   AW,   WF (and co.),   RH,   KH,   BMcK,   DM,   NT,   VF,   BK,   and FS.  Can you come up with any of them? I knew a few of them fairly well. The car owners I mean.    Maybe you can match the owners to these cars:
Holden (2), Riley, Peugeot 203 (2), Vanguard, Morris Minor (2), Standard 10, Mini Minor (2), Austin A40. Yep, that adds up to twelve. Good luck.

PS:  Was informed the late Steve Hill had a Holden at one stage. And also there was a "Mayfair"??? Neil Holm or???

DAVE BAKER PERFORMS IN NEWCASTLE

There's no doubt that the 1963-64 session of WWTC certainly nurtured some talented people. David Baker must be included in this number.

You might remember him as the quirky cartoonist, De Bak, for the 1964 'Talkabout' publications!
After leaving college, Dave went on to study art and music, and established himself as a notable artist and a talented musician.
During the last few years, Dave has written and produced a number of Radio Plays for Cabaret and has performed at various venues with his band 'The Smokin' Chops'.
His most recent production "Boulevard of Blood and Dreams" was performed in Newcastle during October this year . It received rave reviews from the local Newcastle newspapers.
A small group of ex 63/64 WWTC-ites were in attendance at the final show. There have been WWTC-ites at previous shows too. 
Bob and Colleen Cureton, David and Lyn Giles, Doug and Lucie Walker, Sue King, Judy James and Marion Giddy ... All had a fabulous weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the show!

 Judy, Dave B, Lyn and Dave Giles and Marion Giddy.

Sue King, Lucy and Dave Walker.

Congratulations De Bak!!

MUDGEE MUSTER AT HALFWAY MARK

 Thanks Nola and Dino for arranging the Mudgee Muster. So far so good! 

 Visited about 4 (or was it 5?) wineries on Saturday. 

 Tasted heaps.... bought plenty!

 PSBMWWTCers (Poor Silly Buggers that Married WWTCers)

Susanna O'Brien and Gerd King served by popular Phoenix.

 But there were nibbles and discussions and...

 Maybe Rob Cureton (and Colleen) had had enough

but they still looked interested!

 John at Mudgee Wines was a font of knowledge,

and we were ready to listen and learn.

 There were even times when our glasses were empty!

 Here Helen Smith tries out her croquet skills.

 "When's lunch?" cries out one hungry camper.

 But there always seemed to be plenty to eat.

 Some argey-bargey on the croquet field.

 Lucy Walker being creative after lunch.

The troops are clearly wearing out...one by one. 

ggg

Just remembered! We have to gather again at 6 pm!! Bye!

SOME 1964 PHOTOS

So, can you recognise any of these girls from 49 years ago? Maybe you whizzed one of them??

 This photo is of a dem lesson at Lake Albert. Wonder who the "teacher" is?

Here, on Open Day in 1964, there is a pottery demonstration.

Is that John Hargreaves in the background? The play is OUR TOWN. This one was in 1963. Who else is in the photo?

WHITE WATER RAFTING IN NZ

The Fitzpatricks and the Keasts had a great time in NZ in August, staying at a lodge in Turangi on the southern side of Lake Taupo. We're talking middle of the North Island.

 One of the highlights was a dabble into white water rafting. Just excellent fun.

It was about this stage that Janice inquired, "Are we gonna go through some white water?"

 Yep! For sure.... in fact 64 rapids in total in a 2 km journey. Mind you it took us a couple of hours to do the ride. Just FANTASTIC! All enjoyed the experience, although Fay's knee took several days to recover afterwards.

Thank you TONGARIRO RIVER RAFTING. Only one to get drenched was Bernie who actually took a dive (plunge?) from an elevated rock (on purpose.) Bit too cold for this little black duck.

THE KENTHURST BONFIRE 2013

 If it's July then it's pretty close to bonfire time in Kenthurst. Good weather to stand around an open fire.

 How do you make a little girl happy? Give her a sparkler!! Fay Keast, Janice Fitzpatrick and Helen Smith.

Here Burnie supervises the action. 

 Judy J, Judith D, John C, Rob H, Julianne H, Sue K and Helen S.

 Fay K, Janice F, Bernie F, Nola F, Dino F, Anne McK, Tom McK and Jan S.

 Marion G, Doug W, Gerd K, Dave B, Leonie, Van D and Lucy W. Graham and Janet Wright arrived just after photos were taken.

The old fellas - Gerd, Grahame and Bernie. They all mature in 2013!!!! (Hopefully.)
