Prossie Mill Reunion Coming Soon

Former employees of the Proserpine Sugar Mill are invited to attend the 24th annual staff reunion, which is due to take place on Friday, November 4.

This is an opportunity for everyone who has spent time working at the local mill to come together, share stories, reconnect, make new friends and reminisce about the good ol’ days.

Everyone is welcome - whether you have simply moved on to other employment, been retired for a year or a decade – every past employee is encouraged to come along.

84-year-old Ron Read started the event 24 years ago on the first year he retired after 46 and a half years of service.

He said that often they have around 50 people attending the reunion and that it is a good laugh with like-minded people.

The reunion takes place at the Mill Social club on Mill Street Proserpine, starting at 11.30am.

A meal is provided courtesy of Wilmar and you simply need to purchase what you want to drink.

Register your attendance directly with Ron by calling 0429 443 295 or emailing  ronread@tpg.com.au.
