10th Australian, World Invitational Rover Moot Reunion

Wow! where did those 40 years go. It is time to celebrate a peak time in Rovering in the '80s, especially one of the best Australian Moots held in that era. Who would have thought, a couple of faxes and letters to the Asia Pacific Region and we had ourselves a World Invitational Moot.

The reunion is Saturday 14 November from 2pm to 6pm.

Come for an afternoon of stories, memories, fellowship and reconnecting with such a strong friendship group. Bring your memorabilia. Big slide show and video featuring all your '80s Rover stars. Stay for dinner, Pre booked BBQ ($20) available or self cater.

Communal marquee and campfire in the evening and possibly some singing!

Although the Reunion is on Saturday arvo, you are more than welcome to camp and cater yourselves from 5pm Friday 13 to 1pm Sunday 15. This is proving popular!

You need to book for this event, please, no matter when you are coming.

This event is not suitable for Under 18s
