On
Friday the 11th of March 2005, a large gathering of Tolsta
seamen flocked to the Community Hall. What attracted
them was an event orgonised by the Young Historians called
Aig Muir.
The
Young Historians went about sending out invitations to all
village seamen through our integrated database.
The
Young Historians also set up a display board and various other
multimedia shows for the occasion. These were enjoyed
by all, the display board showed various old photographs,
posters and colourful information plates.
Also
a large variety of props were brought along by the committee.
Three whole tables were full of them! Ranging from Ships
Lanterns, Old Fishing Books, The Fishing Registry, Sguil and
Fishing Floats.
When
the time came, all the seamen sat down and talked about the
good old days. And in amongst the reminiscing laughter
echoed out of the hall into the bitterly cold Northerly wind.
A
thank you goes to the Committee for their help and the Sawmill
band for providing excellent entertainment.
