Hi, I’m Adam Grant, an Old Boy, Roberts 2000-2004.
I’m now in the RAF and along with 3 other serving colleagues have entered a Charity Adventure Race in May. The difference is that we need to get voted into the race by the public. The public vote closes 31 Mar 2010. We are currently laying in 5th place, so the last qualifying team, but only just. We need as many people to vote for us so we can get in, and raise money for Help for Heroes.
I was wondering if you could spread the word among the Old boys network to ask them to vote. It is simply a case of visiting a website, entering your date of birth (age verification) and clicking to vote for our team (Team Riff RAF).
The website can be found by clicking HERE
Are you able to help us here and spread the word, or tweet it, put it on facebook etc. We already have the backing of Selly Oak, H4H, BFBS, and Sgt Slingsby (the Holidays 4 Heroes Bear) to name a few.
Thanks

Hi all downunderees,
This reunion will be held in Western Australia in early November 2010. The proposed venue is The Rose & Crown Hotel in the beautiful Swan Valley wine region. The hotel, which is heritage listed, is situated in the small town of Guildford about 15 kms from Perth and near the airport. Guildford is renown for it’s antique and collectable shops.
For more information on the hotel go to their website at www.rosecrown.com.au
As I said in my last email, November 2010 seems a long way off, but from past experience we have found that provisional bookings must be made well in advance, especially in popular tourist areas. To those that have already replied to my original email, please ignore this plea, but to those who have not could you please let us know if, all things being equal, you would be likely to attend. A reply from those who would not be able to make it would also be appreciated
The organizers for the reunion are Clive Seager and Terry Thomas of the WA branch. Would you please include them in your reply. Their email addresses are cliveseager@bigbond.com and terrytee@iinet.net.au
Slan
