This gathering was another of those occasions organised following the main NZ Qualtrough reunion held in October 1979 in Auckland. This one was held at Edith & Bill McGhie's home in Kihikihi, Waikato, NZ in November, 1979, again the impetus being Violet's visit from the Isle of Man. At the back, L to R: Noeline McGhie (Warwick's wife), Mary Gavin, Edith McGhie (Bill McGhie's wife), Warwick McGhie, Phyllis McGhie (George McGhie's wife), Margaret Macky, Ida Feisst. In front, L to R: Bill McGhie, Violet Corlett, holding the Manx emblem, and George McGhie. George & Bill McGhie are brothers, sons of Catherine Alice Qualtrough (William & Catherine's eldest daughter)who married George Robert McGhie; Warwick McGhie is son of Bill & Edith McGhie; Margaret Macky is daughter of George & Phyllis McGhie. Mary Gavin's and Ida Feisst's relationship to William & Catherine have been explained under other photos on this site. Interestingly, as this is being written, in June 2001, five of those in this picture have now passed on.
