FEARNAN HOUSEPARTY - 1992/93?

Remember those long hot summers when men's shorts were just a bit too short!

Fearnan on the banks of Loch Tay became a popular Houseparty venue during this period with the traditional Saturday afternoon trip to Pitlochry. The vehicle pictured (top) was not the result of a Junior Section craft activity but is Julian Guse's 'Scamp' - always popular with those who enjoyed travelling close to the ground in a motorised clothes airer. Below, always sure to attract a cluster of teenage boys, is Colin 'Shem' Campbell's motorbike.

It was at one of these later Fearnan Houseparties that the first 'Treasure Hunt Revolt' took place - boys actually refusing to spend three hours walking miles along the verges of busy A-roads trying to decipher woeful anagrams in return for cheap confectionary. Extraordinary!
