The Dornoch Reunion Lunch
This very enjoyable event was organized by Duncan and Alison Allan and no fault could be found in the total arrangements- thank you both for a very successful event.
The editor and his lady had the privilege of attending this reunion lunch at the Royal Dornoch Golf Club---the meal was absolutely first class and the menu is shown below with the main course being a choice between Breast of Chicken and a Goan Prawn curry.They obviously employ a very skilled chef as all food served was of the best quality.
Twenty eight attended and copies of the pages of the menu are shown below.

A SONG FOR TEA PLUCKERS
(a salute to the garden labour)
Ek swira, do pat
Kharjan ya Banarhat
Khabisukh, Khabisukh
Char bagan kamjari
and for those with memory problems Duncan kindly supplied the translation
(We) pluck two leaves and a bud
on tea gardens (where we work)
sometimes (work) is easy, sometimes hard,
working on tea gardens
