Class Coordinators – October National Reunion

Dear Scheyvillians,

As you are aware the forthcoming National Reunion will comprise three separate events; a Dinner at the Hawkesbury Race Course on Friday 14th October, individual Class Reunions on Saturday 15th October, and a BBQ Luncheon at Scheyville National Park on Sunday 16th October.
At its last meeting the National Executive agreed to add to the generous subsidy already being given to the Dinner and BBQ, by providing some financial assistance to the Class functions.
Accordingly, I am seeking the contact details of Class Coordinators to establish a means by which this assistance may be effectively directed. Request Class Coordinators forward to me the appropriate Class Number, Coordinator’s name, and contact email address, in order to advance the process.

                                                                                      2022 GEDDES DINNER 

Dear Victorian Scheyvillians, after a two year Covid related deferment, the Geddes Dinner is to
return to the Melbourne programme. It promises to be a fine night with an excellent speaker,
a great meal and that outstanding OTU camaraderie. Friends and family are most welcome.

Our guest speaker will be Nick Jans PhD, retired Brigadier, academic and writer.

After Duntroon-graduate Nick Jans served with 12 Field Regiment RAA in Vietnam, his career led him into military policy and education in both the ARA and the Reserve.

Joining the faculty of Canberra University, Nick wrote widely on leadership and later consulted. His most recent books are: The Chiefs: A Study of Strategic Leadership, Australian Defence College (2013), and Leadership Secrets of the Australian Army, Allen & Unwin (2018).

Following Black Saturday he was deeply involved in the rehabilitation of the Marysville community and infrastructure. Happily and productively retired, Nick now lives in Carlton.

Nick will talk on the OTU project and why it worked so well.
