Starting from a Facebook page, “You know you’re from Cowra when” the reunion concept has grown and will be taking place on September 13-18 this year. 

Event organisers, while appreciating that things will start from humble beginnings, are more than happy with the early response. 

Committee chairman Marc McLeish says that the event has kicked on more that he had thought it would and he excited by the upcoming reunion week.

“We have worked pretty hard to overcome certain barriers. We have no budget at all and are relying on word of mouth to carry the message,” he said. 

“The Facebook page has an audience of over 6500 people. To get a quarter of those back would be great,” Marc said.

Back 2 Cowra ask that everybody clicks on the web page www.back2cowra.com and has a look and most importantly fills their spare bedrooms up with friends and relatives. 

“This is a community driven event that grew from a small idea with a lot of community spirit. It’s now up to the town to get their family and friends home. C’mon Cowra WE have to do this!”

Special guest for the reunion dinner to be held on Thursday, September 15 is former Cowra resident and musician David Jackson.
