Firstly, thanks to those of you who have already returned your forms. Time is moving along quickly and our CUST family reunion on the 24th & 25th Nov is now only a short time away!

I am looking forward to the event and I hope you are too. I am hoping - as we all are - that the weather will be kind to us.

Apart from immediate family members, few of us already know each other, the rest of us (me included) will be meeting for the very first time - second, third, fourth and even fifth cousins! But that's what it's all about, family meeting family, sharing a common bond with our ancestors - Robert and Mary CUST.

History House Tour

Dress is "Smart Casual".

A pair of comfortable walking shoes would also be a good idea for the Cemetery Tours, which are kindly being conducted by Norm and Bev McDOWELL.

History House contains general memorabilia and is opening especially for our group on Sunday, so this will be your only chance to visit during your stay in Warrnambool.

If you intend going to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum, please allow at least 2 hours for your visit.

Photos, documents and any memorabilia are still needed. If you have anything of interest to the families that you are willing to share, can you please forward copies to me as a matter of some urgency, as time is running very short.
A black and white photocopier has been hired for Saturday so that you can copy any photos and documents.

For the weekend, DON'T FORGET TO BRING:

Your camera
Address book and pen

Please don't forget the CLOSING DATE for sending in your descendancy forms, meal requirements and money is the
24th of OCTOBER as we have to notify the caterers of our final numbers, organise name tags, printing, etc.

Looking forward to meeting each and every one of you!
