Members of the Class of 1974 held their annual informal get-together at the Red Lion Hotel Sports Bar, in Ballarat on Sunday, 8 November 2026 in pleasant conditions.
Those in attendance from SPC PY1974 included Peter Todd and Meredith, Mark Jolly and Ange, Peter Clifton and Kate, Michael Sargeant, Louis Baker, Michael Caligari, Mark Bromley, Tim Fithall, Paul Delaney, John Perkins and Shane Pianta. Apologies were received from Michael Reidy, Anthony Brandenburg, Peter LeLieve, Michael Frawley and Paul Armstrong.
The get-together over a number of hours saw the participants reminising over their years spent at SPC, what was happening in their lives now and other various topics ranging from football, cricket and of course, politics. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the catch up and look forward to next year’s annual get-together, to held at the Red Lion Hotel Sports Bar on the second Sunday of November commencing at 1pm.
It is hoped more of SPC PY1974 guys and partners will be in attendance next year and discussions will hopefully get around to a special reunion, to be held in 2029 to celebrate our 55th year since leaving SPC. It must be remembered that we are all ageing and it would be great to see as many as possible every year.
Finally, all the SPC PY1974 guys wish all at SPC – students and staff, OCA guys a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks to Shane Pianta (SPC 1973-74) for submitting this story
