The retired teachers coffee morning drop in takes place in the Blackrock EC on the last Friday of the month from 11 – 1.  The room is informally set up and coffee is available throughout the morning.  Parking is also available on site.

The meetings are very enjoyable, with some interesting discussions taking place, as those attending share their holiday and travel experiences.  We have also heard from those who have volunteered in third world countries.  Group play reading was planned for the May meeting but due to poor attendance, it had to be abandoned!  It is hoped to try again in September.

Although attendances could be better, it is intended to continue the meetings in Blackrock, re-commencing in September and the hope is that when the word spreads numbers will pick up.
