Apologies were received from Bob Murray (Bathurst), Raema & Ray Grieve (ACT), and Anne Pidcock (Penrose)
Bob's brothers Graham & Brian came from Dubbo, & his friends Arnold & Win came from South Australia to join a group of his BMC friends for an afternoon of memories and music.
MC Ralph Pride led the reminiscences as he & Bob had been friends since primary school days. Ralph also played a recording of Bob reciting Incognito, John Manifold's classic poem about a very intelligent horse.
