Forty-five former PMG/Telecom staff and their partners gathered at the Parkes Sports and Bowling Club on Saturday, October 12 for a night of reminiscing and mateship.

Organisers for the night Dave Williams, Trevor Miles and Lionel Lyneham, decided that since it had been twelve years since the last function it was time to bring together the old workmates from the old Parkes engineers district which included Forbes, Parkes, Molong, Condobolin, Trundle and Lake Cargelligo.

Old mates travelled from Sydney, Queensland, Coastal NSW, Parkes and Forbes.

Comments on the night were very favourable with several saying that they had worked in many districts and Parkes is the only one that holds this type of get together and we shouldn’t wait another 12 years for another.
