Party of 13 skiers left yesterday for a week near Turin included Michael Kerrill and
Aileen Thornhill and Louise Killeen.
Home again after a visit to Amsterdam,Brussels, Rotterdam and Antwerp are Louie
and Mairead Darcy who were on Councillor Connie Hanniffy's group looking to see
how things are done over there.Also on the group were Peg Corrigan,Marie Staunton
Mary Wise-Graham, Mrs Rothwell and Peter and Jane Mooney from Doon.
They were in The EEC Parliament and in The Scottish House etc.
Louie noticed the flatness of the land and the amount of landunder sea level.
Roadways were very good with special nanes for bicycles and ones for walkers.
However we noticed that Jane Mooney fell on the pavement and got a black eye.
Prices of food and drink were expensive and doubled when service charge was
added.Louie was surprized to find a lady at a desk in the gents toilet who relieved
him of thirty cents after he had relieved himself.A glass of water cost 1.95 Euro.
Worse still the toilets all had glass doors for mamselle to keep an eye on you.
That story last week on the couple visiting Amsterdam should be updated to
200 Euro. One good thing was that Avril Doyle took them all out to lunch.
