Happy New Year! It’s Time to kick off our first lunch of 2026 on Thursday, January 8th. Hard to believe it’s been nearly three decades since amalgamation — back when half of us still had good knees and could climb a ladder without sounding like a bag of popcorn.
Winter’s doing what winter does, but the days are finally getting longer, and we’ve only got a few more months of shovelling, scraping, and pretending we don’t mind the cold. Compared to standing outside a three‑alarm at 3 a.m., this is nothing we can’t handle.
We’ve had great turnouts lately, and it’d be great to see everyone again. Come out, warm up, and reconnect with the crew — the stories get better every year, even if the details get a little… creative.
Location: Harp & Crown Pub, Pickering (Altona & Kingston Rds) Time: Around 11:30 AM
Hope to see you there — bring your appetite, your best old‑hall stories, and maybe a pair of dry socks or orange plastic gloves just for tradition’s sake.
