In August 1919, the Courier reported that ”Mayor James McKenzie rallied the town to celebrate the signing of the Peace Treaty following the Armistice that ended World War One … the town planned a grand programme of entertainment lasting a week.

This included a gigantic picnic and sports for the children of the district, thanksgiving services at all churches, five-a-side sports tournaments, a mask and domino ball at the Masonic Hall and a grand vocal and instrumental concert featuring the Dundee Peace Celebrations Choral Society (Mr. F.I. Cavanagh, Conductor).

This programme is not going to be quite so ambitious. However, after the ceremony all attendees are invited to drinks and snacks at the MOTH Shellhole.
