Míle buiochas leo sin ar fad (144 + ) a tháinig chuig an oll-cruinniú ar an gCéadaoin seo chaite.
An update on the activities scheduled for this week:
Leisure Cycling:
A return to Howth/Sutton is planned. We will meet at 11am at the 1st car park opposite the Methodist Church on the Clontarf Road. We will head along the coast, turning right at Sutton cross and cycle up there a bit. Coffee break in either Howth or Sutton. There is a cycle track on much of the route and a large stretch of it is off-road. There is no element of competition in this cycle. Be safe, be seen – wear appropriate jacket / cycle top.
Golf outing cancelled
Probably due to the uncertainty of weather and the proximity of Christmas we have had little interest from our golfers for the 7th of December in Old Connaugh.
We have therefore decided to postpone this outing until February or March and would hope to get a better response.
In the meantime Vincent and Sheila wish you all a very happy Christmas, and look forward to a happy golfing year in 2013.
Ballyroan Drop in
You are cordially invited to drop in to Ballyroan Community Centre on this Wednesday (11am to 1pm) for our monthly drop in – tea / coffee etc.
Art
Class as usual on this Monday morning.
I.T.
The final Lap – Top tutorial in this present series is on this Monday.
Family History
The 10th and last class of the present series of Continuation classes will be on this Thursday morning. Ár mbuíochas ó chroí do Mháire Mac Conghail a bhí comh foighneach linn agus comh saineolach ins an ábhar. Cé go bhfuil deire tagtha leis an sraith seo níl ann ach an tosnú don taighde agus staidéar ar ár ndúchas atá romhainn. Scaip an scéal faoin sraith nua a thosnóidh ar 10ú Eanáir, 2013.
Yoga
At the general meeting last Wednesday I referred to the possibility of having a Yoga class for members in 2013. The show of hands at the meeting indicated good interest in it. We wiil pursue it for early in the New Year and let you know the outcome.
Annual General Meeting
The meeting nominated Matt Reville as our District’s representative on the National Executive Committee, Donall Ó Murchú as the representative to Standing Orders Committee and Betty Hogan, (Dublin North Branch) the representative to Financial Supervisory Committee.
Buíochas:
Mo bhuíochas d’oifigigh agus coiste na craoibhe, do na hionaid éagsúla agus go háirithe do gach éinne a chabhraigh linn i rith na bliana chun na himeachtaí go léir a eagrú. Bhí bliain an-mhaith agus an-ghnóthach againn agus le cúnamh Dé beidh sé chomh gnóthach sin aris san ath-bhliain.
My thanks to Mena O’Leary who has been our representative on the National Executive Committee and who will step down from that position in March. Many thanks, Mena for your diligence, hard work and courtesy at all times.
Our new Rúnaí, Matt Reville, will be in touch with you shortly. My thanks to him for his assistance since the Branch was founded and I know that you join with me in wishing him well and in offering him your help and support during 2013.
Nollaig shona duit agus ath-bhliain faoi shéan ‘s faoi mhaise duit féin agus dod’ mhuintir.
