Reunion revives memories

Villeneuve and Neurum residents took a stroll down memory lane as the 44th annual Villeneuve-Neurum reunion took place at the Woodford Museum on Sunday, August 25.

Helen, Norma and Bill.

Over 70 past and present residents came together to reminisce about their upbringing, looking at old photo albums and scrapbooks and sharing stories of their school days.

The museum was covered in posters telling the histories of both towns and showcasing historic photos on the screens, along with photos of previous reunion days.

Two of the attendees, Margaret and Helen, met at Villeneuve State School in 1950 when they were only four and five years old, and have been lifelong friends ever since.

Other stand-out attendees included past resident Denver and his two grandsons, along with Div 12 councillor Tony Latter
