Col's 21st

Theme: superheroes

Date: April 1989

Location: Bruce's place, somewhere outback of Queanbeyan


Disturbing sites of the night (so very many): the cousins, Moose revealing his true identity (I would say strip tease but we've seen it all before..), Spak's very thin greenish undies with a snake tucked down the front (very classy), the one legged man falling off the verandah, Gary and Anna actually hiring costumes, Gerry as the Grim Reaper, Gerry clinging to the top of a car(??) that was doing doughnuts (??) in the paddock, headstand sculls, Reg (the dog not the parent) being barbequed, and let's face it, too many pouchy bits all around (I think I am referring to you mysterious PP),. Again memories are a bit fuzzy.

Apology: to Col, sorry I don't have any single photo's of you in your costume, only the morning after, in bed, next to Brett, xx.

Down, down...


Done.



The caravan park crew, in deep discussions, politics (more likely religion - with the conclusion from some that catholics apparently take it up the arse, thank you protestants.)

Col, Moose and April

saving the most disturbing photo until last

why-oh-why is Dixon riding Moose???

Spring Boxers

Indoor cricket team, approx 1987(?). I am guessing they were successful, even with Goofy in the team...

L-R back row Greg F, ?, Robbo, Spak, Goofy
front row Paul G , Alan, Gudge and a very young and spunky Moose.


Very attractive V neck shirts boys.

Geoff's 21st part 2

This is the equivalent of where's Wally (ie I can't be bothered labelling them all).

So spotting those missing from last batch of photos - Mick R, Anna, Mick N, and Gerry.

And the question needs to be asked - why is Gary Knox wearing Geoff's silk shirt.

Reddies Presentation Night 1988

This report is somewhat hazy, no reason, I'm just getting old and the night may have been traumatic enough to wipe from my memory - I'm sure alcohol had nothing to do wiith it.

We all poshed up for the end of year Reddies presentation. I think it was at the yacht club (in Wagga? - maybe my memory is slightly amiss). The night started well, we looked a treat, all had official dates, how grown up, and ate with manners...


Then thankfully the camera was put away and the entertainment began.

The paper tablecloths had a plus side (easy to clean up) and a minus side (easy to create missiles by dipping bits of the paper in the conveniently located jugs of beer. The ensuing fight was enormously wet and everyone managed to find someone they weren't particularly fond of and peg them - or was that just me?).

After that, the speeches were unusual - I seem to remember someone a somewhat bitter speech - (a bit of help here, I'm sure someone out there remembers). All blurry, although an image of Cutsy and a shed seem to surface.

A good night.

Probably.
