The last couple of days have been spent shuttling from one beautiful location to another with incredibly friendly and down-to-earth members of Saltburn by the Sea and its related clubs. We've been all over the area and have been treated to Whitby Abbey, reportedly the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, York Minster, and all sorts of other places and things.
Last night we had a presentation at Saltburn's meeting, which is where the accompanying photo was taken. Tonight we had a fantastic and relaxed dinner gathering in the home of one of the Saltburn member's homes. Daphne even surprised our team leader, Terry, with a birthday cake in honor of her recent birthday. It was complete with candles! Of course, this was the ONE time our resident camera man didn't have his third eye firmly attached to his face. However, a couple of other folks had a camera, so I'm sure we will manage a photo anyway.
Tomorrow, which starts in fewer than 40 minutes, will see us making our way to Nidd Hall by way of our hosts. As with all of the "handovers", it will be bittersweet. The nice thing about this one is that most of our hosts and others we've gotten to know will be at conference.Vickey
