“Just want to congratulate the YOGA committee on a great reunion at Woorabinda in March 2011. I had a lovely time and it was great to catch up with people that I hadn’t seen since I left high school. Lots of good memories and heaps of forgotten memories. Funny how when someone starts talking about something he or she remembers and it all comes flooding back. Jan Smith (Daddo) did a great job getting as many along as she did and hopefully the word will spread and more of us will be able to attend the next one at Woorabinda in March 2012. I know I’m looking forward to the next one...we may stay the night next time too seeing as the accommodation is there. I would also like to congratulate the committee on the DVDs that have been produced. My husband, Kevin, and I watched both of them on the Sunday morning and it brought many great memories back as well. Sue Bussell, Marg Morris, Andrea Tilley, our partners and myself went out for dinner back in Melbourne and continued to reminisce. The boys felt a little out of it but they seemed to get on well together at the other end of the table. Thanks again for all the great work and commitment of YOGA, all the people I have spoken to about YOGA and the weekend think it is just fabulous that you are keeping the memory of Yallourn alive in so many people’s lives. I have also now sent in my family’s details for the Virtual Yallourn site so we are now “on the map” and am enjoying looking through the old town and looking up neighbours and friends. It truly was a great place to live and it is a shame our children can’t have the same experiences.
