A windy, winter’s day on Saturday 11 August did not stop the gathering of the enthusiastic Class of 1987 Old Boys. On the banks of the Johnson Oval, cheering on the 1st XV didn’t go to waste with Newington resulting in a win 29–13 against Joeys. The win set the night off with a bang!

The game was followed by a tour of the College by Chaplain Michael Bennett (ON ’87), and then hopping on the big Black & White school bus, sent the Class of 1987 down memory lane.

The evening at 4143 at the James Barnes kicked off with alfresco pre-dinner drinks followed by a hearty meal. The smooth and relaxed atmosphere provided the perfect setting for the boys to catch up and reminisce. Keeping them on their best behaviour were their school masters, Jock Canning and Bernard Harris.

A special thank you goes to Con Dedes (ON ’87), Ben Loiterton (ON ’87), Chris Mavris (ON ’87) and Rhett Webster (ON ’87) for coordinating the event and making it a night to remember.
