EVENTS PASSED

VINDI PICNIC

NORAH HD, FEB 18 2008

Heavy rain & black clouds made the day look a bit on the doubtfull side early in the day but for the brave who ignored the signs it turned out to be a really beautiful day for a picnic.  And the place chosen for us ( the lions park on Norah hd.) by Len Britton really fitted the bill with extensive views up & down the coast and rows of ships anchored out waiting to load coal in near by Newcastle.

The group.

The Cooks

And the Talkers.
