Sunday 21 June 2009 Whitecourt










Jim, Nevis and her son Christian arrived in a yellow school bus to take us over to Whitecourt, we stopped at Edson for lunch and by the time we arrived at Whitecourt, yes you are correct, it was a beautifull sunny day. The trip over and the forecast was heavy rain, which had the planned boat ride cancelled. We visited the new sports centre instead and some of the team tried out the Rotary sponsored running track.
All the hosts then picked us up and took us to their homes before a 'pot luck' BBQ at Gwen and Richard's.
Yours truely, Luisa and Jim were treated to a quad and gaitor trip round the steading before the rest of the team arrived.
Richard had deep fried two turkeys which were delicious. It was Gwen's daughter Lisa's birthday so there was cake with the other desserts, by this time we were round the camp fire and Jim thanked all for the day and Gwen and Richard for a fine meal and hospitality.
Our host families were
Sandi and Peter Griston - Martin and Kay
Cheryl and Norm Hodgson - Iain and Marjory
Merv and Thelma Hilland - Keith and Pauline
Nevis and Fred Prufer - Ann and Harry
Gwen and Richard Dionne - Rod and Luisa
Sheila and Ralph Schutte - Jim
