The effect of last years flood on angling visitors to Shannonbridge came to light
at the weekend.Two couples who had stayed here last year called in on Saturday
and stayed overnight.This year they are staying a week in Cavan and a week in Clare.
On Monday evening two anglers came along to tell that last year they stayed in
Shannonbridge but this year they were in Portumna.They had run out of swimfeeders
and came to Shannonbridge to get some new ones.
Last evening a group of ladies from south Armagh who were staying in The Bridge House
Hotel in Tullamore asked the receptionist Caroline Mitchell (a parishioner ) to recommend
a pub with music so about 9.30 PM their bus arrived to enjoy Paudge Bennett at his best.
Paudge had them singing and dancing in congo fashion and one lady who had a walking
frame when she got off the bus got back on without her frame.Miracle ?
The brother arrived home safe and sound from New Jersey and golf clubs in the area -
be warned.The nephew Brendan was on the phone to say he is arriving on the 4th of July.
