No 2 : Is on the occasion that the Boating Pavilion was opened for the first time ( I think it was formerly a part of the Sergeant's Mess at Wick RAF Station during the 2nd world war,)
This picture was also take on the 8th of June 1946. Some comments on number 2 :
I'll not name members of the committee as they can be identified from picture No1, but additional folk present of interest are, The piper is David Bruce son of Jim Bruce ( Of Geddes
Farm supplies ) The man busy taken notes is John Donaldson ( Hot-News Free lance reporter ) the Father of Noel Donaldson currently working with the John O'Groat Journal. The tall man right in it front is George Sinclair Dean of Guild in the former Town council and ti his right is Provost Bessie Leith. Both these photographs were taken by John Adams who had a well known photographer's business in River street where I think Geddes presently have their office/shop.
