THE LATEST SDO NEWS

The first reunion took place on Sunday, 25th November, 2018 when 53 former staff and some partners met up for a few hours at the Paragon Hotel, Circular Quay.

The day was a huge success -

The second event, held on Sunday, 24th November,
2019 when 38 attended was also a great afternoon with some new faces. Some of us thought this time was an even better day out than then first but a few from the first year didn't make it second time around. Photos from that day have now been uploaded and are available on the LINKS PAGE

Covid19 intervened to prevent the third reunion taking place in 2020 and probably seriously affected the number who made it in 2021 when just 11 arrived pretty much right on Noon and enjoyed another very pleasant afternoon, but I don't think anyone got around to taking a photo. It was similar in 2022 for the 5th anniversary of our catch-ups when 21 met up and, again, no-one thought to take a photo; different generation I guess but we do have a
list of those who were there.

The 6th annual catch-up on 26th November 2023 coincided with protests in the city against the war in Gaza and was further disrupted by transport difficulties when the East Hills Railway line was closed for the day and the City Circle was not in full operation. Nevertheless 12 of us made it to The Paragon for a most enjoyable few hours. Click here to see the list of responders.

After seeking expressions of interest for meeting up in 2024 it seemed likely that, after our initial contact in 2018 (nearly 60 years for some of us), many had now reconnected and are continuing to communicate more regularly. Given this it appears the general get-together's may have served their purpose and with that in mind, the idea of an annual reunions has been suspended until further notice.
