The night started slowly with most Reds arriving between 7:00pm and 8:00pm and receiving a complementary drink - a pleasant surprise to most of the men was a second complementary drink!
The men that attended came from local, from interstate, and some from overseas. Aside from location changes, some Reds shared the different experiences they had since graduating, most experiencing university, others beginning their professional careers and some starting their own businesses. Later in the evening following the shy catch ups as old friends, the night naturally became more comfortable alongside the copious consumption of beverages. However, there was a nostalgic feeling amongst the attendees, almost as if the Havelock had moved everyone back five years to valedictory night, where the boys enjoyed final drinks, accepting that life takes us all on our own unique path and inspiring the question, where will we be in another five years from now?
