Hillsview Estate, Auburn provided an elegant and stylish backdrop for this year’s Lower & Mid-North Dinner on Saturday 22 October. 37 guests attended from as far away as Mallala and Angaston, as well as several Committee members and their wives from Adelaide including Preparatory School Headmaster, Neil Andary and his wife Di.
This year it was a BYO dinner, however through the generosity of our sponsors, O’Leary Walker Wines, guests soon discovered, to their delight, that as there were copious amounts of wine provided, they went home with full eskies and fond memories of rekindled friendships.
Lower & Mid-North Dinner Convenor, John Mitchell, welcomed Old Reds and their partners and introduced Robert Tilley and David Sandow to Toast the School and Association respectively.
PAOCA President Peter Brooks, after an extremely hectic week of attending both School and Old Scholar events, drew a very apt parallel between the Valedictory Dinner and Vintage Reds Luncheon, concluding that all Reds are the same young or old!
In conclusion, Peter advised that there would be a ‘Rock with the Reds’ Ball on Saturday 14 April 2012 at the Clare Country Club and all Lower & Mid-North Old Reds are encouraged to attend what promises to be a memorable night.
