Paddy’s Summer Lunch a great success

A great crowd of around 40 Old Collegians and a couple of former teachers attended the Paddy’s Summer Lunch at the Emerald Hotel, in South Melbourne, last Friday.

It was the perfect opportunity to catch up together, following the cancellation of the spring lunch due to COVID concerns at the time.

The Paddy Seasonal Lunches are a popular get-together, and are held on the first Friday of each season.

Organisers are looking forward to hosting the seasonal lunches in 2023. For more information, contact Michael Dowd on 0407 680 682 or email mjdowd@hotmail.com or Noel Sheehan on 0418 509 809 or noel@stafforgserv.com.au
