Reunion planned for WTC
THERE will no doubt be plenty of laughter, shared stories and reminiscing when former students and friends of Warrnambool Tech hold their annual ‘Get Together’ next month.
Warrnambool’s Ken McKenzie, who once played football for the Tech school, is keen to see as many former footballers and students return next month for the reunion.
“We regularly hold get togeth-ers of former Warrnambool Tech School players (footballers) from around 1962 but sadly we’ve lost a few over the years,” Ken said.
“I was a student there back in the late 1950s to early 1960; the school once stood where the TAFE building now is.
“Kevin Neale, or Cowboy as he was fondly known by many, was an integral part of our premiership side. He went on to play more than 250 VFL games with St Kilda but sadly he died a few years back.
“I made a promise to keep our reunions going so that’s what I’m doing. People travel from all over the state; we even had one from Perth come last year so I’m hoping lots of people will return to Warrnambool next month.”
Not only is the annual get together an event for past players and students of Warrnambool Tech, their family and friends are also welcomed with open arms.
“There’s always memorabilia on display and a lot of laughter and stories shared. Last year we had about 50 people so hopefully the group will be just as big this year,” Ken said.
The ‘get together’ will be held at Macey’s Hotel in Warrnambool from 12 noon on Sunday, October 12.
