Going Away Party for Andy & Colleen

A great evening was had by all for a going away party for Andy & Colleen at Le Mess on Saturday evening. They are headed back to Canberra Australia to work at the Embassy there.

A bittersweet evening...... as Andy will be sorely missed for the great job he has done as President organising activities and holding the club together over the last two years.....and most of all, just being a great STUD. They promise to stay in touch though, and it is a good vacation spot...so we'll hold them to it.

Now meet Henri, whose face you will be getting used to as our new president. Henri has been here since this summer and is from South Africa, his wife Lorenci works for the South African embassy in Brussels.

He made the mistake of showing up for dinner and got elected president. Hey.....stuff happens. He seems anxious to fill Andy's shoes, so we wish him the best of luck.

Dave and Uli just had a baby this spring and I'm not really sure if they were aware of the party for Andy. They got a babysitter for the evening and were having their own party back in the corner.

Time: From 19.30
RSVP: By return if possible - for catering purposes we need to know ASAP if you can come

Dave can accommodate 10-12 people so don’t delay and let me know by Tuesday so that we can catch the Haggis in Scotland and get it here and prepared!

STUDS WINTER BALL 2010..... FEBRUARY 27th

While you have your calendars at hand please mark Saturday, 27 February 2010 for the STUDS Annual Winter Ball. This is the big night of the year where we all get together with our Significant Others (SO’s) to eat, drink and dance the night away!

It is a great chance for SO’s to meet each other and meet the other STUDS. It is also the night where we get to dress up and dust off the tuxedo or our best suit!!

We are working on a venue and will let you know more soon. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions for a venue please let me know. We will also be running a tombola in the lead up to the ball so please start saving your small change for a chance to win! I have been assured by other members that this is a night that should not be missed.

President
