Spring was in the air and the magnificent weather could not be faulted. It was just made to order!

Morning tea was held on the steps of Centenary Hall and guests gazed out onto the Johnson with students rushing by to get to their next class and the building works in full swing. It is safe to say Newington was seen at its best; alive and buzzing.

A wonderful attendance as 115 guests, which included special guests from the Laying of the Foundation Stones Ceremony that preceded the luncheon, moved into Centenary Hall.

The Annual General Meeting was also held. Congratulations to The 70 Club Committee:

CHAIRMAN John Carroll 1947-52

VICE CHAIRMAN Gilbert Morgan 1947-58

HON SECRETARY Robert Hill 1947-54

HON TREASURER Warren Green 1944-53

A special thank you to Reverend Vernon Prowse (ON ’57) for providing Grace, Gil Morgan (ON ’58) for the Loyal Toast, Ron Leckie (ON ’39) for delivering the Toast to Newington College, and to Phil Davis for adding in Any other Business to the AGM agenda with his “crown jewels” joke.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the next luncheon on 12 March 2013.
