PROGRAM

For around seven weeks, Lyn

and Bill with four friends,

a couple suspiciously Mt

Gambier, travelled the

Burgundy canals, to Spain, other France and, it

seemed , everywhere in between.

Clearly there were many highlights, among them

the Burgundy canals and the river systems,

Barcelona (the lucky city) with its Catalonian

culture and markets and the magnificent Gaudi

Cathedral (Google search it. You’ll be stunned).

Brest A.O.C. chicken was almost worth a trip in

itself but supplemented with wonderful food

and wine along the way.

Because at this stage, your Editor was thinking

that he’d rather watch the outstanding ppt.

show, stopped taking notes and enjoyed Bill’s

presentation. If you missed it, you missed a treat.

Thanks Bill. Welcome home Lyn and Bill.

HELP!! If you are named here,
