On these cold winter days it's always nice to look forward to warmer times to come. Spring is coming and so is the Bazaar. 

The big day is Saturday 14 September. On that one day in September all eyes turn to the OIU Wine Auction, the single biggest contributor to supporting the Mission in their great work. It's a great way to support the Mission so we need your wine! It all works due to the generous donations of wine by Old Boys. So please, once again, head down into the cellar, pop into the bottle-o, or hit up your favourite online wine site, and pick out some bottles (or a case or two) for the Bazaar. 

Donations can be dropped off at either the Ron Dyer Centre at St Mary's North Sydney, or at Paul Brogan's house where he promises to look after it carefully. • The Ron Dyer Centre, 42 Ridge Street, North Sydney 2060 (just behind St Mary's, North Sydney) or, if it's more convenient for you, • Paul Brogan's house, 12 Mooramba Ave, Riverview (Please contact Broges on 9428 4958 or at paulbrogan@optusnet.com.au if you need to make arrangements). 

 All donations are gratefully received and you can give safe in the knowledge that you are both supporting the extraordinary Mission work, and lubricating the tonsils of your fellow old boys. 

 See you at the Auction on the 14th!
