2013 District Convention

We just had our uplifting convention in Bushlot, Corratine
we had to leave early as we could each morning as the Pontoon bridge was closed to shipping in the early mornings, and it if missed the window it could be a couple of hours before it would be open again, though the actual closing times were always slightly later than they said, which work well for us.
Our congregation went in two small buses and a one big bus, and left when they were full
The convention was held at the Horse racing course,
 but it had rained heavy the night before and during the day,
 or was muddy underfoot, and some navigation was reuired to get around,
and had to walk on planks to get to stairs









We sat upstairs there was a nice breeze and the sound quality was excellent
The Upstairs seating was good
The Sheeplike ones
kept coming all day
Many enjoyed watching the Baptism
Nine in all
Nine got baptised, of which one was from our congregation
A little wet underfoot
