Left John Mounsey and Right is Gomer Haycock - at the Reunion Dinner at the Perth Convention Centre Saturday 15 Oct 05. FYI, it seemed that "Mounsey" at that "Chesire Cat" grin on his face for the whole time he was at the reunion. Think it comes from an adverse reaction to a lot of colouring from the cordial he was drinking or whatever.

The Perth Reunion 2005 for the RASigs Corps was conducted over 8 days in October this year. I am sure everyone had an absolute terrific time. My wife Kath and I certainly did. Lots of tremendous organisation was at the back of the reunion from the RASigs W.A. Association. Gee they did an awesome job.
The Reunion was broken up over two weekends with three functions:
1. Whitman Park Family day BBQ - there were hundreds there
2. Perth Convention Centre - Reunion Dinner - over 700 guests
3. Rigbys Bar and Grill - BBQ Luncheon and farewell
I have attached a few photos of some of the people who attended
cheers
