Memories Will Remain.

As I am led to understand August is the start of the Autumn; not everybody agrees, I know, as there are different ideas as to when each season commences. July was not quite as Summery compared to June etc, but Summer events went on as usual and as always over the years:- The cattle Show; the Tiree Association Sports and The Regatta.

I'd say that the Cattle Show is the highlight of each event every year. Good seasonal weather prevailed this year boosting the desire to be entertained by all that was provided to make the day a happy memory for a long time to come.

It will not be readily be forgotten that the the display of two Clydesdale horses was the main attraction. To see again these delightful representitives of Scotlands former Agricultural Glory brought memories of my young days when the big horses were a common sight. The early fifties witnessed their demise from the scene; there has been much nostalgia ever since, and especially on the advent of a spiritless machine called The Tractor.

The Regatta as well as being a display in the skill of water sports is also an effort to keep the art of Lug Sailing alive. This year The wind was quite brisk, But some keen exponents didn't hesitate to attempt the course. I am sure, to the delight of all, and especially the elderly observers of the contest.

With the Sports, recreations of the Summer season ended. A sense of loss strikes me as the former doyans of the various events are just memories. Nothing remains now but to speculate on the years before us, and may a new era continue in th spirit of excllence worthy to be mentioned with th past glories.
