Glenavon

It was almost a rite of passage within AGC to attend at least one live-in conference at Glenavon Lodge - a purpose-built facility located in one of Sydney’s premier suburbs, Vaucluse.

Apart from providing valuable instruction, these conferences allowed the participants to meet their colleagues from all over Australia and, at some, from overseas. Many a lasting friendship has begun over a drink or two during a Glenavon happy hour.

It wasn’t all work, of course. Some conferences included a harbour cruise and a visit to Head Office to meet “the heavies”, and a game of cricket on the adjoining oval was always on the cards. Another popular activity, provided to the visitors by the local lads, was a conducted tour of King Cross and its dubious attractions (although getting back into Glenavon after curfew was sometimes a bit of a challenge).

There are bound to be some familiar faces among those to be seen in the following photos (submitted by Bob Clarke, Owen Knight & John Leplaw). Do you have any photos that you’d like to share?
