Simon Hall (Be 1993-1994) and Stephan
Lakis (Be 1989-1994) couldn’t make it back
to Australia, so they caught up on 16 August
2014 for a mini 20 year reunion of their own.
While enjoying Australian beer, the day and
night was spent discussing the merits of good
times at GGS. It is amazing how quickly the
time has gone, but the memories of winning
the rugby, snakes, the geology fieldtrip, and
the legendary status of Mr Chris Durrant
(Staff 1988-2007) all came up as hot topics.
Simon is about to start a new academic year
teaching at University of West of England and
finally submitting his Masters.

16 August 2014 with Simon Hall (Be 19931994) for a mini 20 year reunion in the United

father.
Brett Nottle (SG 1997-2001) and Nicholas
Sattler (Sc 1999-2001) have opened a new bar
and restaurant called Sampson’s Paddock on

was overseer on a cattle station, to a new job
down in the cold country, out of Holbrook
NSW, where he is working on a farm that has
