It was indeed. The Beacon was a brilliant venue thanks to Marion and Inverclyde, Involving the choir in a music-themed meeting was inspired, great speakers, lovely weather and a spectacular aurora on the Friday night.
The other highlight for me was seeing PS Waverley steaming off up the Clyde from her berth at Greenock with a loud burst on the horn during Alec Mackinnon’s talk. The attached pic shows the view we had out the windows from the lecture room. I’m a sucker for anything steam powered and she must be one of the most beautiful ships around.
