Due to building works at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Melbourne, it has been necessary to change the date of the next Dick Reynolds Club lunch.

""Boys from the Bush"", a fun-filled lunch featuring lovable footy larrikins, will be happening Thursday 16th August, 2007.

Hosted by Dimboola-born Tim Watson, the function will be held in the Savoy Ballroom at Grand Hyatt. Dick Reynolds Club members and regular function attendees will receive direct invitations. New guests can book on-line or by telephoning Essendon Football Club on 03 9230 0390.

If you cannot wait until August for your next Dick Reynolds Club function, bookings are still being taken for ""Near Misses"", happening Wednesday 13th June, at Windy Hill Venue. Today is the final day for bookings for this cocktail party which will honour past players who just missed some major playing milestones.
 
Guests of honour include Gary O'Donnell - 243 games, Ken Fraser - 198 games, John Birt - 193 games, and Geoff Leek - 191 games.
 
The function will be hosted by Steve Alessio and all current players, and Kevin Sheedy, will be in attendance.
 
Past players Ken Mansfield, Robin Close, and John Ellis will be presented with Debut Guernseys.
 
To confirm your booking, telephone the Client Services office on 03 9230 0390. No cost for Dick Reynolds Club members, and $50 non-members.
