Outdoor Games & Bar-B-Que

A great afternoon was had by all at our OUTDOOR GAMES & BBQ day. Many thanks to all those who brought food along, made desserts, provided transport, and generally came ready to have fun. We were very fortunate that the weather stayed dry for most of the day.

A very special thank you goes to Scott & Audrey McPhail for helping to organise and host such a fabulous day!!!

Sugu and Lisa demonstrate their batting skills ...

... whilst Ania shares some 'expert' advice with Dagna.

Not entirely sure what game Csaba thought he was playing (everyone else was playing rounders)

Scott adjudicates a challenge of Tug-of-War. Germany/ Malaysia versus Scotland

oops ...

Now it's the girls turn to flex their muscles!

Lisa & Alison (at a rather strange angle) - I think I was trying to be creative

Magda, Dagna and Frank enjoy a bit of 'time-out' between games

I've always thought that the Bar-B-Que-ing was a guy-thing and an opportunity for male bonding - this is my photographic evidence!

Following a great Bar-B-Que we enjoyed several scrumptious desserts!

Student Comments

"Hi Lynne, We would like to thank you for organising a wonderful day out to Loch Lomond and later for a bar-b-que at David's. We really enjoyed ourselves although the weather was not so good. Tug-of-war and shot put at the highland games kind of reminded me of my memories during school days. These were the sports that I always participated in. Please send our thanks to David and Aileen as we don't have their e-mail address. We enjoyed ourselves at their place. See you at the next event."
Regards, Sugu and Fu Yu

Loch Lomond Highland Games & BBQ

Seven students joined our day trip to the 40th anniversary Loch Lomond Highland Games at Balloch Castle Country Park. The previous day we'd had torrential rain and so the ground was rather wet and muddy. The weather started out a little overcast and during the morning we had a few light showers but nothing enough to send us running for cover under the trees. However, by early afternoon the sun was out in all its glory!!

Fu Yu from China and Sugu from Malaysia

Gao Chang from China

and Tobi from Germany

Magda and Ania from Poland

Frank from Germany

Ania and Lynne queue'd up with numerous 3-5 year olds for a spot of face painting !!!

Whilst our trusted drivers / helpers (Janet, Kathleen & Archie) took a wee rest ...

Before heading off to our BBQ we stopped off at Lomond Shores for an hour - although it looks overcast it was very warm.

A HUGE THANK YOU to David & Aileen Clark for putting on such a fabulous BBQ
