| Just what
have you done to me, mum? Mind you, a plastic mac was just what was needed for our parade as halfway through the heavens opened. We all got soaked, including my camera, which accounts for a few out of focus shots toward the end of the parade. Well thats my excuse anyway! |

| The childrens Boat Building Contest was a great success.Rather than select any particular boat to show here, (there were many worthy contestants), I thought you may be interested in this photo of Trevor, our PRO and Treasurer.
