Yesterday a box of assorted badges arrived from Steve Peak who owns Badgeworld that specialize in badges and nametags. These are a present from Steve and Liz to the fundraising for Kate Thornhill plans for improving the orphanage dormitory in the school in Uganda where she works.There are hundreds of badges and if you are willing to help sell them contact Maureen Thornhill or Colin Killeen.Many thanks to Steve and all in Badgeworld. There are a number of bags of coins available in exchange for a note for Kate (suggested $10)which make excellent starter kits for young coin collectors with about ten countries represented in each pack. Available in Killeens.
Good to see Joe Kennedy from Birr in Shannonbridge last evening with his son Michael and wife and child.Told us that he had an update carried out on the family plot in Clonmacnois and car sales are very good.
Martin Burke and Alo Moran went out trolling for pike on the Shannon again yesterday and caught a number of medium sized pike and one small pike that Martin reckoned was not much bigger than The Flying !C! that Alo was using.Course they lost the big one.
