On the Saturday 7th September, the family met up at our house for a bon voyage meal of Rib of  Beef, Salmon, Herbed Chicken, salads and Booze. Peter Nic, Katy and Bethany were off for a new life in New Zealand.

Ann and Mike Blasdale, Ali and Nic Highton, David and Margaret Lishman also attended.

I still wonder to this day, who ate all eleven pounds of beef, especially as there were vegeterations amongs us.
