If you have been a competitor, coach, committee member, Australian team member or assisted with the program, you have contributed to the success of the ICMJ program which is celebrating its 20th year in 2010 and we want you to join in the celebrations!
As such, a 20 year reunion is planned for Saturday 10th April 2010 in Sydney to bring together the large number of people involved in this important program and celebrate the good people and times the program has created.
The event coincides nicely with Sydney show for those of you that are heading down to the event, with partners welcome to attend. There will be canapes, a 3 course meal and drinks provided to the coat and tie evening and it will be a great chance to catch up with old friends and celebrate this milestone.
Please email us here to get your invitation and full details for the reunion. We would love to have you along! Just don't forget to RSVP by the 22nd March 2010.
Please feel free to pass this information onto others that have been involved in ICMJ. We would also appreciate any ICMJ memorabilia, including photos, that you may like to share for our special night.
We have finally gone mainstream and joined facebook!
