SECOND COMING!

We received a letter from  Brother Victor Chalmers former headmaster at the school who was appointed in 1958...he came across the web site by chance and he said he was impressed that the old boys were still active ....he is no longer a brother and left the order not long after leaving Kyneton....he was flattered to be on the list of headmasters....but goes on to say "there is another list that has me down as "Victor Chambers RIP", its a rumour, I’m eighty and quite well....

His address and email are.....John G Chalmers 2a Boscarne Ave Torquay 3228    jmchal@iprimus.com.au 

The web site has been altered to “raise the dead”! Sorry John but it was the brothers who gave us the list of deceased

• On Sunday 13 December 2009 the sun shone brightly on the Kyneton Football Oval where the families of members gathered for the annual fish luncheon. 
• In some cases three generations of an old boy's family were in attendance. More than twenty members dropped in during the afternoon.
• Jack Ramsdale and Len Young took the responsibility to prepare the food which was deep fried fish, scallops, potato chips and cakes, together with dim-sims. The table service was provided by Brian Fleming and Peter Law. Accompaniments for the freshly prepared food was provided by the ladies and consisted of several salads and other condiments.
• Desserts were also provided and although not low calorie were very popular-------------after all it is Christmas!
• After the food had gone Santa arrived to treat the children with ice cream and sweets and specially selected presents from Santa's own workshop.
• President Roly Sandilands thanked the attendees for support and also the chefs and wait staff.
• A good day was had by all!
• David Gellion sent in a request to correct the spelling of his father' Jack's name in the deceased old boys register. He provided this family insight: -
• Dad worked with Goldsbrough Mort in Wycheproof for about 10 years until we moved to Cobram in 1966 where he joined Younghusbands. He worked for a number of companies around the Cobram/Numurkah area after that.
• I wouldn't remember to many of his connections as I only a young fella at the time.
• My mother led me away from being a stock and station agent and pointed me in the direction of being an engineer - a good choice at the time.
• Gerard Danaher has been compiling a listing of the Class of 1958. It is a work in progress and any students from that year are asked to send in their details and any other names.
