White Eagles 25th Year Anniversary

Extravagance! Uncle Zoki is a hard man to please, especially after leaving his beloved Warilla, drive half way up Avala only to miss the Helensburgh exit and arrive at Panorama House via Campbelltown. Regardless of his cross-town journey, Zoki was thoroughly impressed with what he saw. With time not on his side, APWE President Grad Petrovic did well to snap up guest presenters; Grimmace and Hamburglar who kept the 300 strong crowd entertained from start to finish. Now its time for Uncle Zoki to reflect on the night that was;

Angelo Hajitofi who took a page out of Peter Andre’s book to combine nerd and metro sexual into the one conglomerate.
