Perth Get Together Jan 2023


Attendees of the Perth Get-Together - 21 Jan 2023


Presidents Report

Nearly 30 TELSTECHs and guests turned up at the Cannington RSL on a very hot and sunny Saturday afternoon to catch up and spin some yarns. The venue was excellent with a great ambience. Just like a typical ADF Bar. Lots of Tri-Service memorabilia. And the prices were very affordable.

Gavin Nicholls, Mark Wing, Todd McGlinn, Gabe Soto, Steve Schultz, Kiwi, and Nipper were reminiscing about Pearce and 3TU in the late 80's/early 90s in a mini 3TU runion. Kiwi was there from Qld for the weekend, Rudi Edwards travelled down from Toodyay, and Dan Sayer travelled 300km on his Triumph America in +35C heat to be there. Great effort by all.

There was a full table of ladies, or is that a table of full ladies, who were clearly enjoying themselves. I believe (???) they restricted their alcohol intake to be the Designated Drivers.

Lots of faces and names I recognised, but just as many that I didn't: Al White, Guy Jolliffe, Peter McAveney, Dave Pitts, Doug Hunt, Rudi Edwards. There were people that I did recognise and hadn't seen some for decades. Such as: Dan Sayer, Norm Ellis, Dave Commane.

Many thanks go to Staffo for his efforts in researching several venues before the RSL was selected. He really threw himself into the task. There was ample off-street parking, coupled with cold Guinness, VB, mid strength beer and Heineken 0.0s being readily consumed. All at very reasonable prices. Both on tap and from the fridge. I thoroughly recommend the place.

I, for one, had a fantastic time. Many thanks to all concerned. Even the people who were unable to attend (Hey Col Meek). If you have any photos of the event, please contact Kiwi to get the google drive link to upload.
