Our farm, Conamore, was about 10 miles up the road from the Gundy pub, and the pub and the hall next door formed the social centre of the rural district.
As well as propping up a stool at the bar on many occasions, Dad also helped run it for a few years with his partner Eve at the helm, so it seems an appropriate place for a farewell gettogether.
There will be nibbles and a few drinks, and anyone who would like to share their respects and a yarn or two is welcome.
