Many Happy Returns ??

   Well Put Aunty, it's the People that made it to where we are now, the town was just the hotel that housed them all...... thinking of the characters that this place made, your dad being one....

Have to agree with Diana.
Although I have been back a number of times since leaving at the end of 2004, each time is harder and my general feeling is that, what made the Town home to us for all hose years has changed or been relocated else where.
I believe that where ever you can gather a group of Oranjemunders together ( beit Cape Town, Cairo or Sydney what ever) and the liquer flows its going to feel like "home"

Hi All,     It sounds like the place that most of us have etched in our minds has long gone,....and it will be dissapointing......but just to smell the smells ect all that weve said before......and all this partying too .................and the drive to the place itself will be breathtaking, especially to the ones coming that are family members who have never been before......someone suggested to me that the reunion should be in england as more of us live here......but to me its not just about seeing old friends...it about meeting new ones and the thing i would like to do most is swim in that pool.....is the diving board still there???    if dreamt of diving from that board so many times in my sleep....as i loved diving,,,,,,,.....and it was always that same one in that same pool.........the one from my distand memories of a place i never thought id see again.............i dont reconise much of the town anyway from you new pics that posted so not expectin much...but just to stand out side my old house on 2nd ave....with my old friend from across the road Sandy...........well ill be taking a few hankies i can tell you :emot78: :36_2_35: beautiful.....
