Marauders 30th Anniversary Dinner

Back to Social Events index

The Social Event of the Year was the anniversary dinner held at The Trawool Estate on 3 October 2024

This looks like some sort of reunion – what could it be?

  • Retired male models?
  • Mr Universe contestants from 1965?
  • A collection of ex Cleo Nude Centrefolds?

No, that is possibly the motleyist group of ageing cyclists ever assembled!

....although the lads did attract this group of 'fangirls'. All keen to get a social media photo of what they called 'fresh meat'.

There were even WAGS present – this was an event that rivalled the Brownlow Medal night red carpet arrival….

The MC was dressed in Sartorial Elegance – or are they his curtains?

The winners of the Spunkiest Sheila awards were all smiles at the presentation.

Gordo and Wokka couldn't believe that the organisers had secured Frank Sinatra as the entertainment

Gordo became all emotional when Frank sang him 'I did it my way'– luckily Wokka was on hand to offer some comfort. Wokka was heard to say 'Gordo, you have only ever done things your way!' Gordo responded – 'is there any other way????'

The Adorna Cuddly Couple Award was presented to Di and Kermode. The award of a yellow watch and some strange looking men's eyeglasses, went down a treat.

Roddy bought a new wig for the night, and 'lashed' out on the matching eyebrows. Graham liked the look, but Kermode was a little perturbed about it all.

You can tell just how much Wokka was chuffed by the birthday celebrations. Laugh? – He almost did…

Crowned on the night as Queen Tamborine – for services to musical appreciation, Deb was pretty pleased with herself.

As her date, Queen Deb was kind enough to bring her father out for an airing. He fell asleep at the table……

JT, the wine's the right temperature, but the straw is too warm…. Where the hell did you get that jacket?

Wendy and Judy spent hours with each other talking about the trials and tribulations of life with Buzz and Gordo. They never did work out who had it worse…

A beautiful family photo of father and son. Graham was so proud to trot out Justin, so much more than just a chip off the old block.

Ah Gordo, what the hell are you doing with that hand? Judy was VERY quick to push him away. If ever you saw a cheeky grin, Gordo has mastered it…

The crew from Foster are looking terrific for the country air. Sallie, Sabes needs to be fed more. He is so thin he needs to run around the shower to get wet!

Kilborn told his classic gag about the Priest and the Prostitute – Mongo loved it, he said after telling the same joke for 35 years, Rosco had perfected it.

Susie's taste in men has been questioned. But she says Roddy is like mould, he grows on you….

The selection of stand-up comic could have been a bit better, but for the price he offered value for money – code for he was so bad the organisers refused to pay him.

There is a great new musical act where this garden gnome walks through the open door and starts playing banjo – it went over a treat!

The Geriatric Crooners did a classic song called “Your teeth are like the stars, they come out at night.” Just sensational…

But when the Tamborine player Muzza hit his straps, it literally put a chill down everyone's back.

Banjo, Tamborine, Hand clapping, this band had it all. They put their heart and soul into the performance. The audience gave them the clap they so richly deserved!

The Gnome managed to make his banjo sound like wounded bagpipes – how does someone do that?

The ladies all smiled nervously and patiently waited for the song to end.

Mike Kermode helped them all out by showing them where to evacuate.

This happens to a man when he drinks too much red wine….. although his fluency with Vietnamese was impressive.
