Our trips in 2005.

A short trip to Dubai and Oman to travel through the Strait of Hormuz on an Arab Dhow.

The Kingswood versus Wotton tug of war over the Tetchwick Brook at Oakfield Fisheries was held during the last weekend of May. The main event was won by Wotton Underwood.

We joined the Berkshire branch Cambridge Society for its 7th and our 5th annual weekend, held this year in Derbyshire. The event is always a good chance to catch up with people, an inspiration to flagging grey matter and a challenge to stamina. It was, as usual, brilliantly organized by the dedicated few (Catherine, Peter, Rob and Ann amongst others) and they had laid on the sunshine, too.

We visited Turkey from the 4th September 2005 to the 11th September 2005, travelling with the tour company Voyages Jules Verne. The trip was to see the treasures of Istanbul and the surrounding regions. I believe we have now visited more mosques than churches.

Our yearly trip to Guernsey in October. We had some stormy seas with the waves breaking over the sea defences at Vazon Bay.
