On Tuesday 8 May, the College welcomed back its senior Old Boys for the Annual The 70 Club Lunch.  Once again Centenary Hall was filled with laughter and joy as over 200 members of The 70 Club gathered.

This lunch commemorated the 20^th year of The 70 Club but also to celebrate the 60^th Birthday of the ‘Modern’ Newington Cadet Band.

Chairman of The 70 Club, Gilbert Morgan (ON 1958) commenced the lunch with a very warm welcome to all Old Boys and especially to Dr David Mulford.  The day was made extra special by having Jack and Pam Butler join the celebration.  They were joined by other former staff members, Clive Woosnam OAM, Ray Hille OAM and John Turnbull (ON 1963).

To celebrate this special occasion Dr David Mulford organised a surprise performance from the Newington Cadet Band.  We take this opportunity to thank Dr Mulford and Major Rod Wood, for this wonderful surprise and performance.

After a delicious lunch prepared by Jim Kuburlis (ON 1983) and his team, the Old Boys gathered to sing Dear Newingtonia and the War Cry.

The ONU thanks Gilbert Morgan (ON 1958) and Howard Wheatley (ON 1961) for their tireless work on the Executive of The 70 Club and their enormous effort to bring this great event together each year.

The 70 Club looks forward to seeing you all in 2019.
