Hearty meals and conversations at OCA Winter Warmers Lunch
June 24, 2022
We welcomed back nearly 30 Old Collegians from far and wide for our OCA Winter Warmers Lunch earlier today at the Golden City Hotel in Ballarat.
The lunch is aimed mainly at Old Collegians, who may now be retired and attended SPC between the 1940s through to the 1970s, however a warm invite is extended to any Old Collegian who would like to join us to enjoy a warm, hearty meal and some equally hearty conversations.
We enjoyed the company of Old Collegians and their partners from across Ballarat and districts and as far as Colac and Melbourne.
We even had entertainment from one of our Old Collegians John Coffey (SPC 1965-69), pictured above, who entertained us with a song and his guitar. Thank you John!
Thank you to everyone for coming today. We look forward to hosting another OCA Lunch closer to Christmas with more details to follow closer to the time.
