Massachusetts 1998

The second trip to the States and another highly successful and very enjoyable tour. This time the area was Worcester, Massachusetts, where the YWO was overwhelmed by the welcome they received. The detailed organisation, from concerts and volleyball games to shopping trips and boat trips, left quite an impression, but, more importantly, the firm friendships which were established with many kind, warm-hearted people made this trip most memorable. One particular highlight, for those who were there, was Warren Chong's Party on 4th July - some will remember this better than others!

Alan! There's no point in hiding at the back! We can see you're wearing one!
