The Safari was attended by 70 members - well organised, great food and brilliant raffles.
Well done Mid-North Group.
There encompassed round by fire
Stood a blue flag in a bog.
It was all the little boats
That had ever sailed the sea,
It was all the little books
That had gone to school with me.
On its roots like iron claws
Rearing up so blue and tall,
It was all the gallant earth
With its back against a wall
“The Blue Flag in a Bog” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, (1892-1950)
(visualising a Sunday-school version of the end of the world.)
Perhaps it is valid again today.
