The “GOLD CARD” Reunion
17 - 20 March 2022 @ various Levin and Waitarere Beach venues. If you were in Forms 4 to 7 at Horowhenua College in 1972, you’re invited!
That means it will be 50 years since 1972! In 1997 (25 years ago) we held a reunion attended by 300 teachers and students. It was a weekend of fun, old and new friendships and no-one wanted to go home!
How will you know if you qualify? If you got your “Gold Card” in the last two years or are getting it in the next eighteen months – you’re in!
Or you could take a trip down memory lane and read the old names from your college years on the school roll page.
There’s teachers names, old photos and all sorts to get the old cogs whirring again. Send us some of your photos.
We are looking for a fun weekend. It doesn’t matter if we end up with 50 or 400+ people.
Just bear in mind, this could possibly be the last chance to meet up with your old mates.
With only have 365 days to plan this, we need indicative numbers early on so we can make the most of this four day event.
We really hope overseas people can attend by March 2022. There’s a lot of kids in Oz that would surely enjoy a trip back to Levin and Waitarere Beach.
We’d like to remind you that a few things have changed a bit:
As we will be at Waitarere Beach for parts of this weekend, please observe the following:
- “Skinny dipping” is now called “next size up dipping”.
- Can “old flames” please refrain from “re-igniting” in Waitarere Beach Forest?
- A lot more of us seem to be “on the pill” these days. Remember your meds!
What do I bring? Firstly, yourself. Partners are welcome too.
We will have space for caravans and campervans with amenities available.
(Levin + Waitarere Motorcamps and other sites)
Bring your bike / e-bike, walking / running shoes, golf clubs and tennis racquet and bikini or budgie smugglers. Levin has an indoor heated pool for those who want to hit the water.
You could swim at the beach!
Registration cost: $50. This acts as a deposit on various events you choose to go to. Thursday night function / Friday night function. All café meals / drinks are pay as you go.
We need HELP!
Can you help us find students and old mates?
We need at least two people from each year (3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th / 7th Form) to help us spread the word and ensure as many as possible people attend. Email us if you want to be a convenor for your form year.
