I spread the news of our meeting far and wide and we had two visitors, who saw our ad in AFTC! Thrilled about that. We had a really good turn-out and a past member, Val came for a visit. Good to catch-up.
Cassie Mercer, from Inside History, was our guest speaker and gave a great talk on Irish Wattle, convicts who were transported to Australia. This included two of Cassie's ancestors. She is an excellent speaker and I hope she will come and speak again.
Margaret showed us her Mother's Day present, a five generation photo, from her Dad back. The photos are beautiful. Such a wonderful keepsake.
Bye for now,
Lilian
It was a wonderful evening. I learnt a lot about the trials and tribulations of Irish convicts.
