I attended this gathering mainly to get some
photos of the people involved but also to take a few pictures of the
Fallbrook Farm. I arrived a touch late as my GPS system
decided not to talk to me and so I went flying by the exit off the
401. Had to stop and activate the speaker and so as I'd missed
the turning I got the scenic route back to my destination.
When I arrived everyone was sitting down to a
light lunch and so I very much enjoyed a hearty bowl of soup, some
excellent sandwiches and some desert and fruit and enjoyed a wee
blether with folk at my table.
It was
then onto all the activities that were organized and this included
the handing out of a DVD on the Oral History Project arranged by the
University of Guelph. Many gave wee talks and lots of reminisces of
days gone by.
A video was taken of the event by Sandy and
one of the extended family who as it happens helps to organize the
Fergus Highland Games.
Sandy handed out
a flyer to everyone which was double sided and here it is for you to

And now here are some of the pictures I took and
I might add that if you click on any of the pictures a much larger
version will appear which should be of sufficient size to get a good
print. Also, if anyone can supply the names of the people in these
pictures, please email me and I'll add them in.

And so after all the talks and reminisces and the
sing along it was onto Fallbrook through what turned into a misty
day with quite heavy rain.
And so it was time to head back to Chatham having
had a most enjoyable day.
