Dear Oldboy,
It's usually this time of year when we contact you about the Annual Old Castlemaine Schoolboys reunion in October.
Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic again the committee has decided that this year the Reunion and family BBQ cannot go ahead.
Our Committee held its usual AGM at the Trades Hall Castlemaine on 20th August 2021, Ron Delmenico was elected as our new President and we thank Jake Cutlack for his contribution as president over the last 2 years (the only one to have held that office in our history for more than one year). Our current office bearers are;
President; Ron Delmenico, Snr Vice President; Alan Archibald, Jnr Vice President; Llyod McShanag, Secretary; Peter Thompson, Assist Secretary; Peter Cole, Treasurer, Steven Norris.
We also thank Terry Robinson for his many years of service to our Oldboys as our Treasurer.
We will not be asking for your membership again this year, but we do hope that you can consider making a donation to our Oldboys to aid the school book program.
Each year we donate books to all primary schools in the Mount Alexander Shire. and give support to chaplaincy at Castlemaine Secondary College.
You can make donations via the Secretary or directly to our bank account:
Ref: Your Name, BSB: 633-000, Account: 123 613 135

We understand that times are tough and encourage you to touch base with your fellow old schoolboys by letter, phone or online.
Please also try and encourage a NEW OldBoy to come along to next years reunion.
Our committee would be pleased to send out many new invitations if you could supply contact details for new Oldboy’s.
Look forward to seeing you all at the 2022 Reunion.
