Reunion at RandwickThere will a reunion held on Saturday, 27th April, at the Royal Randwick Hotel (Randwick). This is an open invite to any Old Bathurstian of All Saints' College. We already have a lot of interest from Old Bathurstians from 1991 to 1995 but would like to see those from 1970, 1980 and 2000 get involved. This will coincide with the Randwick Races for more information go to the OBU website or call Ashley Miller on 0429377191. Spread the word as we are aiming to make this a big annual event and at the same time boost the interest in the OBU. ****************************************************************************************** DUBBO DINNER (2013)The Annual OBU Reunion Dinner was held at the Castlereagh Hotel on Saturday, 9th March. Fifty-three attended and it was great to see so many new faces, particularly from the 1963 school leavers. Anne Llewellyn, President of the OBU, was able to thank the OBU committee for $20000 towards the urgent restoration works on the School Chapel. Stewart Ross, Head of Senior School, gave an overview of the current status of the college. The Dubbo Committee presented the OBU with a further $600, proceeds of the annual dinner. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Don’t forget - the second Saturday in March 2014 - lock it in, Eddy!!!

The College has recently taken delivery of a stained glass window commissioned by the Old Bathurstians' Union. The beautiful window contains the All Saints’ College crest. Made locally by Mr John Hawkey the window is a companion for the window containing the Marsden crest commissioned by Mrs Dawn Lamph and Mrs Shirley Burrow in 2005.
The exact and permanent location for the windows is not yet certain. It is desirable to have them as feature windows in a building but we do not presently have an appropriate site for them. For the foreseeable future, the most likely venue is the entrance foyer to the Kemmis Building. These windows are a lovely addition to our collection of artefacts at the school. They will serve as symbols to link history with the future of our school. Thank you very much to the OBU for the support and commissioning of these windows. Dr Peter Miller ************************************************************************************************ Dux medal presented to CollegeThe College was delighted to receive a visit from Mr Bob Johnston from Lyneham in the ACT on Friday, 1st March. Bob visited us to bring his father’s dux medal from 1916. Grayden Mather Johnston was Dux of All Saints’ College in 1915 and 1916 and Mr Johnston has kindly donated the medal to the All Saints’ College collection. Mr Johnston took great delight in telling us some of what he remembers of his father’s recollections of the College. He has a keen interest in the history of the College from reading his father’s books. Kathryn Parnell **********************************************************************************************
