In celebration of the upcoming 35 year anniversary of the OCS graduating class of December 84, I’ve organised a booking for lunch at the Portsea Hotel from 1130 on Saturday 14 December for as many cadets, staff and family members as are willing/able to attend. This year the celebration will be informal with dress casual; partners, children, grandchildren and other family members welcome; come and go as it suits; a-la-carte dining and most importantly, enjoyment of good company.
To help with the administration, I’d be grateful if you could get back to me (ian.peek2@defence.gov.au) by Friday 8 November with a best estimate of whether you can attend or not; and if you can, roughly the numbers of adults and children etc. That’ll be all I need until Friday 29 November when I will need to let the Hotel know more accurate numbers.
…….extend the invitation to the MIAs if you have any contact with them at all. Our list of Staff contacts in particular is extremely sparse, and I’m sure we’d all like to see as many of those former DS of all ranks who helped not only launch or boost our military careers, but who also helped shape the men we’ve became over the period since graduation.
Thanks and best wishes to all of you until we meet again.
Please contact class members for more details and to book.
