“Old” Boys and Girls of Montfort and SHY, with their partners are cordially invited to a combined Schools Reunion, to be held in Yercaud from 22nd to 24th January 2010.
(Because of the large numbers of old boys and girls who have passed out of the schools it is not practical to have a reunion for all. Therefore it is proposed to concentrate on the senior brigade of boys and girls who passed out up to year 1972. We are trying to create an opportunity and incentive to get as many of our buddies to return to India to renew their acquaintances with their school colleagues. The fun and laughter at this happy event can only make you feel good, so come along and reminisce with us with a drink or two.)
This is a unique event, organised by the Australian Overseas School Groups with the guidance and assistance of various school members in India.
The concept of the combined schools reunion follows on from successful reunions held in Perth (2005) and in Melbourne (2007). These two meetings were filled with warmth and nostalgia, which confirmed the strong bonds we have with our alma mater.
The event is also an opportunity for overseas residents to plan that holiday in “Incredible India” and to make this reunion a part of the holiday itinerary.
An internal package for overseas travellers can be arranged to cover the following, however you will need to custom make your own return air travel arrangements into India and then on to Madras (Chennai) or Bangalore to meet up with the batch travelling to Salem:
Train Travel with the Batch from Madras or Bangalore Stations to Salem Junction and back.
Bus transportation from Salem Junction to the Hotel in Yercaud & back
Hotel Accommodation and breakfast for the 3-4 day period. (Grand Palace Hotel)
For those making their own way to Yercaud, accommodation can be found at various other Hotels and Resorts.
Costs and details will be advised closer to the date of the reunion once numbers have been confirmed. Please register your interest so that we can plan ahead and keep you informed.
Finally, we ask each and every one of you to pass this “Invitation” to all your colleagues in the relevant year batches and have them contact us at the earliest.
Best Wishes to you and your families
Reunion 2010 Committee
