Sydney University 1978 Medical Graduation 30 Year Reunion 2008
Our 30 year reunion was held on Saturday 23 Feb 2008 in the MacLaurin Hall, Sydney University. It appears to have been a great success, judging by the many effusive emails I have received since. We had a minimum of formality, with only one speech by Steve Jurd. He kept to time and subject admirably, speaking about our imminent maturity, increasing girth, unwanted hairs, unwanted bald patches, forgetfulness, grandchildren (5 or so in the year so far and one 6 years old!!) and other joys of old age.
The food and wine from European Caterers were very good and the evening did not end until after midnight. There wasn’t much heavy boozing and nobody became disorderly to my knowledge! As we had no entrée but a long canapé session downstairs on the parapet/lawn, after lots of mingling, it was a relief to sit down and just have a couple of people to speak to at a time.
There was a 10 year reunion opposite in the Great Hall at the same time. They all looked so young!!
