Colin has some good advice

Hi all ex-CEOS of ASOPA.

If you want to inform people of what you are doing, this is the blog.
Reunions, small get-togethers, travels, who is missing from your class group,who you can't find. And really the sad part, who has passed away, many of us who recall them as friends have no idea.
Use this blog - that is the purpose of its creation.
On the left hand side you will be able to still access the Keith Jackson blog which covers affairs pertaining to PNG. A very informative report on the PNG situation, but, many of the CEO'S of ASOPA went to the NT.

Cheers to all
Colin 

Sydney Reunion 62/63 - 12-14th November 2010



Rod Hard said...




Whilst we discussed a number or options between "sips," we thought that we should get an agreement on the date before further arrangements. Due to transport logistics we decided to use Sydney as the base, given that transport to the Hunter or Southern Highlands is restrictive. E-mails have been sent to those whom Keith has on his data base and when we get a reasonable consensus we will proceed with the next step. The initial invitation has been sent to the 62/63 contingent as that is our "target market"....but others who wish to participate will be most welcome. Whilst many of us keep in contact through the internet,it is great to catch up in person and we should take advantage of this while our "health" allows.

ASOPA 70/72

Richard Dokter writes (February 2010):
Hi,
Watched the slide show on youtube. Went to ASOPA in 1970 to 1972. Was the last group to attend ASOPA before going to the Northern Territory. Have attached a class photo still in my collection. Not everyone is in the photo. A pity. Can you use it.
Regards,
Richard Dokter
