DJINNANG Association Reunion. 29 May, 2010.
You’ve got to hand it to these blokes and blokettes, the Djinnang Association are a loyal and close knit bunch of people and they know how to hold a reunion. They’ve been getting together now every year for yonks to meet up, swap a bunch of often repeated lies, expand on deeds done and times past and to share a cold one or two with old mates.
Some of them travel miles each year for the annual get together, they come across from Perth WA, others down from Townsville, and some up from Tassie.
On the 29th May, they held their annual General Meeting at the Queensland Public Service Club in Brisbane, and once again, they filled the place.
Of course, these things don’t just happen, you need a good dedicated and progressive committee to organize all this, and the current committee has to be congratulated.
