As mentioned in previous newsletters, the GPS Gold Challenge is being held on Friday 2 October and Saturday 3 October for the classes of 1993 and 1994. 

This year's event is being held at St Joseph's College, with Riverview hosting the rowing on Friday morning, and Kings hosting the rifle shooting on Friday afternoon. 

Once again, and almost by tradition, Riverview has the most registrations of any GPS school for this year's GPS Gold Challenge, with 55 of the 285 registrations so far being from OR1993 and OR1994 representatives. Shore and Joeys are currently in second place, with 44 registrations each. 

All Old Boys from 1993 and 1994 are strongly encouraged to attend. Chris McKay (OR1994) is even making the trip from Norfolk in England to join his classmates at the event. Well done Chris! 

Planning for the event is well underway. The traditional Captains' Dinner was held at St Joseph's on Thursday 23 July, with 120 attendees, including Graeme Martin (President, GPS Old Boys Council), Julian Heath (President, SJCOBU), Steve Newnham (OR1970), Joe Mason (OR1991), Michael Blake (Headmaster of St Josephs), and David Hutchinson (Shore 1967 and Founder of the GPS Gold Challenge). Andrew McInerney (OR1993) and Stirling Mortlock (Kings 1994) were the MCs, and will be the MCs for the Closing Dinner on 3 October.
