xNovember 2015 y Dear Old Boys Our Pre-Christmas meeting will be held at ‘The Public Service Club’, Level 1 Function Room, 84 William Street (cnr Stephens Lane) Brisbane on Friday 20 November from 12 noon through until about 2pm; but feel free to drop in anytime from 11am on, as your commitments dictate and join Old Boy mates in convivial fellowship.

As the 2015 Calendar year draws to a close, Old Boys wish to pay a special tribute to TBOBA President, Joe Guerrini and his Executive James Dixon, Don Stephen, Matthew Booth, Paul Canning, Greg Manthey, Greg Butler and Tom Vonhoff who have so tirelessly committed considerable time fundraising for the redemption of our Loan on the Clive Berghofer Sports Complex. Our Special Thanks are extended to Brian Albion (1954-1960) Ipswich, John Boundy (1972/1973) Oakey, ( RJ (Bob) Edwards (1949-1958) Toowoomba, Graham Gordon (1955/1956) Wyreema, Gene Green (1953-1958) Toowoomba, Des Kelly (1946) Denistone (NSW), Kevin Leadbetter (1945-1951) Moffatt Beach, Michael Lincoln (1964-1966) Pialba, Joe O’Neill (1966-1974) Beaumaris (Vic) and Glen Wiedman (1950-1959) Bundaberg, for taking up Life Memberships recently. Bryan McSweeney has been busy inputting data from Old Boys as they determine whether to receive future Newsletters by Post, as normal, or by Email. The alternate systems had a significant trial with the September issue. If you did not receive that copy, please contact either Bryan (3278 9682) or Dan (3345 4404).The College Deputy Principal, Kort Goodman , is updating the Honour Boards in the TP O’Brien Hall and is seeking information on Old Boys who are/or have been in the Services – Can Ex or Current Servicemen please contact him. The email address is: [email protected] or phone (07) 4631 7333. Old Boys congratulate Kort Goodman on his appointment as Principal of Assumption College, Warwick, from 2016 following the retirement of Peter Moloney who has had this role since 2004.Our first Brisbane Sub-Branch Meeting in 2016 will be held on Friday 11 March. On Thursday 22nd October 2015 the St Mary's Old Boys Association (SMOBA) made the final loan repayment to Mr Clive Berghofer for the Clive Berghofer Arena (CBA). The SMOBA is proud of its achievement in making the final payment, 10 years and 10 months since the original drawdown of $1,010,000 commenced in January 2005. In that time the students of St Mary's College have been able to undertake sporting classes and sporting competitions in a National Standard Indoor Sporting Facility. The SMOBA is also proud that it has during this time provided the CBA to a range of community sporting organisations, contributing to providing the region with high class sporting opportunities. There are a number of people who require special mention in bringing this project to completion including Mr Paul Canning and Mr Craig Ebneter who together pushed the initial concept to reality and Mr Gary Brady was able to reignite the T P O'Brien Function Centre which provided important revenue which was directed to loan repayments. The SMOBA also wants to thank Mr Dan McErlean for his continued support and advice during this period. It is also important to acknowledge the support of Mr Clive Berghofer who without his generous support and understanding the project would never have been undertaken.The SMOBA is thankful to the St Mary's Parents and Friends Association, which from the commencement of the project provided, substantial financial assistance to the SMOBA as without their support the loan would not have been finalised in October 2015. It is important to also acknowledge the support of St Mary's College which has provided financial support and in kind support to the SMOBA during this period. The SMOBA has been fortunate during the project to have received many donations from the Old Boys and the Community. Each one of these donations has been directed to debt reduction and without this generous support the loan would still be outstanding. As the loan at the CBA was in its final stages the SMOBA had a loan approved to acquire a strategically important rental property at 8 Helen Street. This rental income from this property will be used in the first instance to repay the loan on the rental property and then in the future provide additional general income to the SMOBA. This property backs onto the end of the car park at the CBA. The SMOBA will now look to establish a sinking fund to provide a reserve for capital improvements to the CBA and continue to watch out for opportunities which may arise to acquire other strategically properties that could be useful for future developments.In the early part of 2016 the SMOBA will host an event to commemorate the final payment being made and to thank all those people who have participated in the completion of the project. Further information will be provided as soon as possible. The final acknowledgment needs to be given to all the Old Boys who have contributed over the decades to the acquisition of property that allowed for the project to occur. This project would not have been accomplished if others before the current committee had not been bold and proactive in acquiring property of strategic importance decades before. In having this foresight a platform and tradition of service was established which the current committee continues today in the provision of the Clive Berghofer Arena.
