Reunions are mostly a logistics problem. People arrive from all over, some with children and some not, and many will turn the trip into a short holiday, so the coast already does part of the selling for you.
Settle the headcount and who pays what before falling for a room. A venue that needs a guarantee is hard to book when half the group has not replied.
Match the setting to the crowd:
Pick the area around where people will stay. Visitors tend to book the beach strip, and locals can come to them far more easily than the reverse.
Central function rooms and golf clubs are easy to reach from both ends of the coast and have the space for mingling. If most classmates are coming from away, choose somewhere near the accommodation they are likely to book.
Sell tickets in advance with a firm deadline set a little ahead of the venue's. Only commit to a guarantee or minimum spend you can cover from money already received.
For a small group, yes. A skippered catamaran on the sheltered Broadwater gives you hours of easy conversation, though numbers are limited and everyone must be on board at the same time.
A daytime gathering near the beach or at a club with a family area works well. Keep it to a few hours, and plan a group photo before the youngest get tired.
It helps a lot. The Gold Coast is long and thin, and getting home at the end of the night is simpler when most people are in one area or sharing transport.
Give as much notice as you can, since people need to arrange flights and leave. A save-the-date first, followed by tickets once the venue is confirmed, keeps your numbers more dependable.
