The talk last night was about the new lights on the road leading to the power station that were lit for the first time yesterday evening and they really look well. Hopefully lights will be fitted along the walkway out to Ard Chiarain on the west bank soon.
Remember a table quiz in aid of The Missionaries of The Sacred Heart a few weeks ago ?.
Well yesterday the postman brought a letter of thanks for the money raised at the quiz and from the mite boxes and a private donation. Also enclosed was a poster thanking those that attended and about a dozen large photographs taken at the quiz by the priest that had travelled up from Cork to attend the quiz. You can see them tonight at the table quiz , which is being held for the Uganda orphanage that we got to know last year thanks to Kate.
The popular green book on The Irish Golfers Guide to Open Fixtures 2005 compiled by Oliver Hilliard is just about to go to print and should be available in a few weeks. A feature of the book is a day by day diary of the golf courses around Ireland that have an Open Day feature on that day. Usually green fees are greatly reduced on that day and the course is open to play on.
Dave and Paulien Kemp arrived on Monday and Dave linked up with Steve Nell to fish the Grand Canal where there caught some nice rudd, roach and skimmers. Pauline told us that the Tourist Office in Clonmacnois has just opened for the season and that they have a wonderful array of books on Clonmacnois and the area. Pauline spent a time looking around Clonmacnois and was in awe at the stonework at The Nun's Church.
