Slideshow
Do you have photos from the early to mid 70s that should be included in a slideshow on the day? If so, Dave Hutton would love to hear from you. Please forward them to huttonry @ bigpond.net.au (but without the spaces, of course.)
Facebook Event for those of us who are Facebook-literate (or have children who can show us how). Spread the word to any of your Newman-ite friends who should be invited. Upload any photos of your Newman friends from the 70s.
