Charlie Powell found a great photo from the old (1997) winnipeg cricket team. Can you name them all?

Ron Vernon at the DUCW Christmas party, December 2012
Sad news to share with you all that DUCW member Rob Vernon has passed away. Condolences to his immediate family – Jacqueline, Peter and Southerly – and to his family and friends in Australia.
For those of you who worked alongside Rob at any of the Folklorama pavilions, please send Jacqueline any stories you remember of Rob’s work there and his time as ambassador. And if you have any stories of Rob that you would like to share with his family, please send them to casselvernon@hotmail.com.
downtime
Our web site was down for a short time this morning because of a security breach. We had to redo some of the content that was added on the weekend, as it was lost. Please let us know if you see any other content or structure that needs attention.
New site launched!
The new website has finally been launched. We hope that February 27, 2013 will go down as a turning point for our club in how the website is now will play a much larger role in helping our club stay in touch with one another, our homelands and our community here in Manitoba.
The new site is very different than our previous one, so we encourage you to explore around, and make some notes. We will be tinkering in the first few weeks, adding more content, making edits and of course encouraging participation from all of you. Please send along your suggestions, comments and observations, as well as new content.

Feature your photos!

As we get this web site up and running, we are seeking photos from members’ own collections which feature typical and iconic scenes from New Zealand and Australia. The images will be cropped to fit the wide, panorama style you see at the top of the pages, so preference will be given to ones that still look good when cropped this way.
