‘LAST DRINKS FOR THE BOYS’ of 2/4TH MGB
Held Perth Dinghy Club –
Saturday 6 September 2025
Saturday afternoon, 6 September 2025 was a blusty winter’s day at the Dinghy Club, Matilda Bay – everybody arrived with a new hair style – the ‘windswept look’. The Perth Dinghy Club overlooks the Swan River and has to be one of the best venues in Perth. The 2/4th’s relationship with the Dinghy Club goes back decades – to much earlier days when 2/4th Committee’s would hold their meetings at Dinghy Club, then located in Perth. The warm relationship between these two organisations grew to sharing social events – invitations to dances/cabarets, sailing afternoons, etc.
We thank everybody for attending. We believe there were about 130 guests in attendance. For many family members it was possible this was the first time they had ever attended a 2/4th event. It was a sad day to say farewell – espescially for an organisation which has been since holding meetings, organising social events and offering mateship and services for 79 years, since the first meeting in 1946.
There were many books available to purchase with a gold coin donation, and a another larger table contained memarobilia.
