In June 2022 NZOA President John McKie attended the first full in person Carousel meetings since 2019. Here are some of his photos from the Canadian & American ASM's - before Covid caught up with him.

These masked men got locked up when the Carousel & partners visited the Morrin Centre in Québec City Old Town.
The Past Presidents dinner was held at the Quebec Legislative Assembly. An opportunity to catch up with many familiar faces - including ABC Fellow Joe Baker & Alastair Younger a foot & ankle surgeon from Aberdeen who went on Fellowship to Vancouver about 30 years ago and never left- but he still sounds more Scottish than me!
