Twelfth Annual East African Schools' Picnic - Lane
Cove River National Park, Sydney, Australia
23 October 2011
Once again a number of former East Africans and their close associates
attended the All East African Schools picnic at the same venue where
past picnics had been held - namely the Lane Cove River National Park
in Sydney. This is now a regular calendar event on the
4th
Sunday in
October. In contrast to the two previous years when it had rained,
this year the weather proved to be dry and sunny. For some reason or
other this had a counter-productive effect on attendance - numbers in
these conditions did not seem to match the higher attendance that we
had at last year’s rainy and colder event. However quality and not
quantity has been the aim of this picnic and those who attended
certainly brought that ‘quality’ with them.
Once again mingi asante sanas to my Tanganyikan
rafiki Nick Croft (St Michael's & St George's, Iringa) for
hosting these photos on his Web site.
