Monday 19th : Art in Parish Centre, Orwell Park, Templeogue.
Lap-top classes in Blackrock Education Centre
Tuesday 20th Leisure Cycling: Bohernabreena proved such an attractive, safe place for our walk last week that our cyclists will return to it on this Tuesday for our cycle. Some of it is tar-macced while all of it bar one short stretch is flat. Those travelling on the M50 should get off at Exit 11 for the N.81 and drive towards the Spawell roundabout (i.e. towards Templeogue). At the Spawell roundabout take the last turn off heading for Firhouse. At the following T junction turn right – you are now on the Firhouse Road. You may park at Ballyboden St. Enda’s GAA Club House which is on your left. From there, there is a cycle path almost all the way to Bohernabreena. Alternatively you may drive further on and, immediately having crossed over the M50, park at Morton’s pub on your right. The cyclists will leave Ballyboden / St. Enda’s at 11am and meet up with those at Mortons at 11.10am. We cycle from there  to the Reservoir in Bohernabreena. Where the road veers left for Bohernabreena cemetery keep right. Continue past the bad bend over the bridge and the entrance to the reservoir is on your left. Bring a snack (and any other comforts) if you wish. The forecast for the week is mixed – if you are in doubt on Tuesday morning about the cycle going ahead please call            087 1390034      .
Wednesday 21st: Those from the Blackrock / Dún Laoghaire / Bray end of the Branch and indeed all others are invited to drop in for the cuppa etc. to the Blackrock Education Centre in Kill Avenue, near Bakers Corner at anytime from 11am to 1pm. Beidh fáilte romhat.
Thursday 22nd: Genealogy in Sandyford Community Centre.

By now all members will have received notice of the AGM of the Branch on Wednesday 28th November. Application forms for classes and activities for January, 2013 were included with the notice of meeting. Could I remind members that forms for the Creative Writing Class and the Trip to Scotland in April, 2013 should be forwarded to Marjorie Murphy – not to me.
