Our first outing since September 2019 was to the Maritime Museum in Irvine and we had 38 happy people on our tour bus.
After a short coffee stop we arrived at the Museum at 12.30 pm. One of
our regular guests who lives in Glasgow was waiting for us there. We were met
by the Manager, Chris, who gave us a brief history and suggested we go look
around in groups of about 12 as were their first group visit. The Museum was
really interesting showing many maritime relics and machinery. There were also other
parts to the Museum: - the Harbour Stories Screening and Into the Maelstrom
Exhibition. There was also a Puffer outside the Museum showing the history and
photographs of the Puffer – that was really interesting.
At 4 o’clock we left for High Tea in Irvine which was very enjoyable (even
though the fish and chips didn’t have the expected peas!) and everyone mixed
well.
For Ronnie as a Marine Engineer it was magic as it brought back loads of memories.
