Christmas Season Camaraderie

Christmas Season Camaraderie!

On Saturday many of the OVGRS clan gathered in the board room at Fred's place for our annual AGM meeting hosted by Fred, Doug M. & Henk. 

After the brief meeting it was time to indulge in some good fun, camaraderie and great food including Steve & Seanna's excellent chili and all the other treats brought out by Steve M's lovely wife and all others!

I'd like to thank Pat & Chris for sending a few pics my way to go along with the many I snapped.

This is really funny picture Chris sent my way.  Check out the facial expressions of the gang!  His caption went something like this:

Hey Mike - here's a photo from the other side of the room. Apparently this was taken during a very serious part of the meeting, where Doug made the gloomy announcement that the railroad will not be open for operations for at least another 5 months from now!

Love it, Chris!

Pat sent along these next five images my way - taken during the many and varied discussions.

We reviewed our year and agreed that the past train operating season was a great success even though Mother Nature wasn't always on our side.

We came up with a plan to replace the trackage in one area of the railroad where the roadbed has seen better days.

The great thing about this group is the fact that when any individual spoke, everyone listened attentively.

But we had a lot of fun as well!

Thanks Pat & Chris for your images.  The remainder come from me.

Rather than create some captions, I'll simply share a few Christmas tales.
