On 15th March Chorley President Bill Critchley and his wife, Pauline, led a party of 12 Brothers and wives on a 5-day break over the border, to Scotland. The party travelled by coach to Kingussie, where they spent 4 nights at the ‘Duke of Gordon’ Hotel, used for some of the scenes in the TV serial ‘Monarch of the Glen’.
Trips were arranged to The Highlands Wildlife Park, a journey from Fort William to Mallaig on the West Highland Railway, arguably the most scenic rail journey in the UK, a few hours in Perth, and a guided tour of the ‘Cairn O’mohr’ Fruit Winery, where all enjoyed numerous samples of the produce.
The break was voted by all to have been a resounding success, marred only by the closure of the hotel in accordance with Government instructions shortly after the group left, and the temporary laying-off of the staff.
The group is photographed by the side of the River Tay in Perth.

The Catenian Association is an international body of proudly Catholic laymen and permanent deacons who meet at least once a month in local groups called Circles, to enjoy each other's company and thereby strengthen their family life through friendship, faith and fun! It is open to practising Catholic laymen from the age of 18 years. Many of the Circles’ activities involve the members’ wives and families.
