In 1991 it was 100 years since the railway line reached to Middlemarch resulting the '100 Years of Rail' celebrations.

Many activites were organised such as a successful beard growing competitions, games and family activities of yesteryear, and many dressed in period custome.

 

The local pipe band piped in the arrival of a steam train pulling the Taieri Gorge Excursion Train on this special occasion. A number of Lions members are also members of the pipe band, incl two of the women members.

To complete the picture of yesteryear local can can girls (yes, member's partners!) dressed in yellow and black added more colour.
