I hope this e-mail finds you in good health and spirits. The 40th anniversary of the subject intake is a little over two and a half years away. As such, those of us who have kept in touch over the years are planning a reunion of staff and JRs. To date, planning has been rudimentary and sadly borne out of the limited attendance by our intake at the HMAS LEEUWIN Memorial event held in early July 2010. Notwithstanding, with early notice and networking it is hoped that the vast majority of our intake can be tracked down and early planning can be put in place to make the occasion a memorable one. Moreover, the intent of this e-mail is merely to get us talking about the reunion and hopefully grow our current interest into reality.

Firstly, I am happy to get the ball moving, continue to maintain a database of all members and drive the bus until a committee is formed. Committee will need to be put in place some time early next year to ensure the necessary planning occurs. In the immediate term we need to focus on getting as many members as possible, at least, thinking about and the reunion. So with that in mind, could I ask all of you to what you can to track down some-one from the intake; get them to forward the contact details listed below to me and register on Facebook - HMAS LEEUWIN 43rd Stevo and Ramsay. This site has been set up by Don Roach. Going forward, it is envisaged that a quarterly news letter will be disseminated and a Charter and Planning Schedule will be developed to ensure all necessary planning activities are in place well in advance of the reunion. In broader terms, specific reunion details will evolve in due course including the location for the reunion. At the moment Phil Solomon has suggested Airlie Beach and Peter Lennon has suggest Adelaide as possible reunion sites. For my mind, the location needs considerable thought for a host of reasons; prevailing member demographics, venue size and what can be offered, alternative attractions for spouses while we invariably catch up and talk shop; ease of travel access; range of accommodation, Zimmer frame access, etc.... Moreover, I think it is important the 'collective' have some ownership over the re-union.

The details below are requested to maintain a contact data base. All information forwarded to me will be treated as 'in-confidence' unless advised otherwise (See Open or restricted access). For those of you who indicate 'restricted access' - contact information requests will result in the request being forwarded to the addressee for follow up action. Spouse's name has been requested as the intention is to make the reunion planning and the event inclusive. Please indicate your preferred means of contact with an asterisk.

If you have any comments, suggestions or issues that may need to be considered, let me know. I will keep track of all the issues and keep everyone informed until a Committee is formed. In anticipation, I hope we can find time to make this reunion a reality and celebrate our collective company in a manner worthy of our unique bond.
Cheers,
