Presentations were made to the oldest, youngest, furthest traveled, longest married couple etc. Floral bouquets were awarded to main organizer Cheryl Payne and family record keeper, Elaine Longford. Our Oldest Family Member, Ron Hickson cut the Reunion cake which was decorated by Faye Reid. His sisters, Grace Triplett and Annice Jensen and cousins Les Smirk and Elsie Woodgate joined Ron as the centre of attention as they are five of Edward George and Lucy Mary Ann Hickson's nine surviving grandchildren.

| Our Hickson family crest was the central decoration on the celebratory cake. |
 |
| We provided some colonial costumes to dress up as our ancestors would have. Lucy and Ella Wilkinson tried out some of the gear. |
 |
| Cheryl Payne, nee Hickson's, children Christopher and Lauren managed the Registration Desk. We are very grateful that we are able to rely on the younger generation of descendants to help make the Reunions run smoothly. |

| Cheryl took a well deserved break to eat the delicious roast lunch. |

| The Toolleen Pub's Tin Shed was an excellent venue for our Reunion. |
