We were all invited to a farewell party at Wayne and Marlene's, everyone had prepared some of the meal and Wayne had barbequed a huge side of beef which was succulent and really tasty.
Some of our hosts from Hinton and Whitecourt also came over and it was great to see them all again, Gwen, Richard and their grand daughter Mackenzie were there with Sheila and Sandi from Whitecourt. Bruce and Henry came from Hinton.
After the meal Martin took to the stairs and thanked all our hosts for the exceptional welcome given to us at each stop. He reflected on the Friendships that had been made and the sights that had been seen.
He next presented a Quaich to the Edmonton Club and one to Ed Korbyl for his major role in the whole tour. Martin then presented a Quaich to Dru and Gavin for all the detailed arrangements and running about in Edmonton.
We gave our final presentation of the tour and completed the evening with Auld Lang Syne.
A very emotional end to a splendid exchange.
A hundred thousand welcomes await you in Scotland.
Martin, Kay, Iain, Margory, Keith and Pauline will leave for Jasper tomorrow. Rod and Luisa will leave Edmonton for the UK on Monday and Jim will travel to Vancouver on Tuesday.
Ann and Harry catch the flight to Edinburgh on Sunday as Ann will be installed as President of Kirkcaldy Club on Tuesday. Good luck for a great year.
