Oh What a Night!- The Prez reports on the 40th Reunion Gala Spectacular

19th April 2008

 
Dear Panthers

Well what a great night it turned out to be on Saturday! Nearly 400 past and present Panthers and friends, ranging from the season of '68 to the current list, turned up at Crown Casino to celebrate our great club's 40th Birthday!
While some of the fashions of the younger crew were somewhat questionable, the past panthers were leading the way on the dance floor showing off some of their old moves! Hopefully no hamstrings were tweaked in the process....
Great memories were relived through the excellent video production thanks to the editing skills of Chad 'Spielberg' Twentyman and interviewing technique of Miguel 'Hutchy' Frances. Copies of the videos are available at the club.
The hard work of the Social Committee, led by Kym Regan, Alysia Gadsby and Megan Speers deserve another thanks for all their effort in preparing the evening.

Of course we can't go without recognising the tremendous effort of Stephen "Chooka" Grey in getting the night up and running. Countless hours searching for and calling Past Panthers really made the difference in making the evening a night to remember!
 
Lastly but most importantly we say a huge Thank-You to the sponsors of the night, namely Zenith Interiors, The Old Mentonian’s Society, SGW Construction & Building, Andrew Carter Beaumaris Travel & Sandringham Yacht Club. Without your fantastic support, and the support of all our loyal on-going club sponsors, an event like this would not be possible.
 
Photos of the night are also available, please make sure that you come down to the club to make your orders and capture all the memories from our 40th Birthday. Please stay tuned for updates to the interactive section of the website, where ball photos will be posted. 
If you have any photos for the event and would be happy for them to be on the website please feel free to email them to megan_speers@hotmail.com.

Looking forward to seeing you at our next game!
