With the Queensland GPS Schools rugby and basketball seasons now underway so too is our season for reunions. The 1999 cohort celebrated their 20 Year Reunion recently and on Saturday 27 July we welcome both our 1969 and 1989 cohorts for their 50 Year Reunion and 30 Year Reunion respectively. From an interstate perspective, we have reunions planned for Canberra on Thursday 12 September, Melbourne on Thursday 24 October and Perth on Thursday 5 December. Invitations for each will be forthcoming.

Our 2019 OBA Annual Dinner and annual Old Boys’ Day are fast approaching. With the Annual Dinner being held on Friday 16 August and Old Boys’ Day the following day on Saturday 17 August, together they really are the perfect opportunity to catch up with your Old Boy mates.

Interest in the dinner is very strong and as a result we have now increased our space at Howard Smith Wharves (Rivershed). You are however still strongly encouraged to go online now to secure your seat and avoid disappointment. Using the links provided below, tickets can either be purchased individually for $95 or as a table booking for $800 (i.e $80 per person). Our Guest Speaker for the Annual Dinner will be Old Boy Tim Walsh (1996). Tim is the current Australian Men’s Seven’s Head Coach and was previously the Australian Women’s Sevens Head Coach taking them to the Gold Medal at the Rio Olympics 2016.

At Old Boys’ Day, experience some quality schoolboy rugby as we take on Gregory Terrace. For those interested, a tour of the school will be conducted, commencing at 11.30 am from Churchill Post (i.e. the flagpole at the northern end of the chapel). The tour will conclude at approximately 1 pm. The First XV match kicks off at 2.15 pm and then at full time, courtesy of the OBA Committee, enjoy a free steak burger at our traditional post match barbecue. Afterwards, we will reconvene at the Pineapple Hotel to watch the Wallabies take on the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup match which is being played in Auckland (kick off is at 5.35 pm).
