Excerpt from the Fleming reunion booklet: "More than 500 descendants gathered on the lawn in from of [St Martins] Church for the group photograph to be taken". The descendants were all representatives of the eleven branches of the Fleming Family that arrived from Ireland in 1895. I have a vivid memory of Bernard Woods taking this photograph on the forks that were elevated on a Forklift. I was so intrigued, I took a photograph of the photographer.
