On Saturday 11th of February we had a real nice ina
uguration of 17 persons, coming from a local firm and from Aalborg guide association.
In spite of, that we started early at 09.30, everyone was bright and awake, even the Benchers!
It was the first inauguration in 2023. The last was on October 20th so we wondered if we were a little “rusty”, but everything went fine, except from minor details.
Even the “City Walk” went fine, and our tree was duly watered with beer. (Having been without almost three months!)
The inauguration ended with a little “sing along” led by our two troubadours.
