With attendances regularly between 800 and 900, the OSCA Dinner has an unrivalled national reputation for a sense of occasion, warm camaraderie and outstanding speakers. Since 1994, Ita Buttrose, Jean Kittson, Rod McGeoch and the Hon Judge Gordon Lewis have maintained the highest standards.
Our guest of honour on Friday 29 May, the Hon Nick Greiner AC, is one of Australia's highest achievers. He was a brilliant scholar in economics and business administration. Premier and Treasurer of New South Wales from 1988-92, his government led the world in public sector reform. He is now one of the country's busiest company directors, serving on the boards of nine major corporations and chairing five.
The versatile Mr Greiner is also an Honorary Professor of the Macquarie University Graduate School of Management, a Director of the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG) and President of Squash Australia.
He will be ably preceded by another classic address from Dr Donaldson, and a toast to the guests from Old Boy, leading superannuation lawyer and media mini-mogul, Andrew Fairley.
The inimitable haggis ceremony, Pipes and Drums, songs and fine Old Boy wines will complete another memorable dinner.
Sadly, prices for this non-profit event continue to rise, but we are back at Melbourne Park - an ideal venue for comfort, atmosphere and accessibility.
Regular attenders have received advance notice, but we are again particularly keen to accommodate those who have missed out in recent years. You are encouraged to make up a table of ten from your era, or you will be very welcome to attend on your own, in which case you will be seated with other Old Boys from your year group, where possible.
Tickets are $80. Please 'phone OSCA today on 9810 4302 for your application form. Bookings are processed strictly in order of receipt of forms and cheques. Telephone or fax bookings will not be accepted. With a blend of formal agenda and general business, the OSCA Dinner puts you in the best of company - resolve today to come on board!
