Upcoming Weekend 14th, 15th & 16th


Well we have a packed weekend coming up. 1st off we have Bowling on Friday night at Ros Bowling on the Lanesborough Road. This is in aid of Breast Cancer not the ISPCA (a long story). Teams of 4 €40 and a raffle on the night. I have to say it looks like a good night. Next we have Kavanagh’s SuperValue Cycle in Westport on Saturday Morning in aid of the Hospice. Teams need to be registered and travel arrangements put in place if we are going. Cycle starts at 10am. Then it’s back to Kilteevan for the Barbeque in aid on Our Lady's Children’s Hospital in Crumlin. We have a donation to make at this one and it is another worthy cause to support. The barbeque starts at 5pm in Paddy Finns, Kilteevan, so don’t be late. Lastly there is a sportive in Tralee for those wishing to test themselves. Details of all these events are further down in the blog so I won’t repeat them here. All good causes and events but we need to decide what or where we are going to divide our activities. Anyone with suggestions or looking for participants put something in the forum or email me and I will put it in for you. I have some youth sitting duties on Friday and Saturday but I hope to attend the bowling for a while and will be at the Barbeque for the presentation at least. It would be good if we had some in at least club tops for the presentation.
