At their meeting in Thankerton Hall Cairngryffe Everyoung enjoyed an interesting
and humorous presentation from local farmer Michael Shannon of Damn Delicious.
Michael's natural Irish wit complemented a fascinating insight into his new
farming techniques and the development of his retail outlet now based at
Thankerton Camp Farm. The twenty minutes of questions which followed showed the
interest the audience had taken in the presentation. Many thanks to Michael.

on 'What the Railways Did For Us'. Jim shared his lifetime interest in the
development of the railways over the years 1840 - 1918 which amongst many other
things led to the standardisation of time throughout the UK as Railway Time
which eventually became GMT in 1884 and the start of 'package holidays'. . 22nd October 2015 - Trip
