Re: Paddle making week end

All looks fabulous with some great looking paddles completed. Well done. As usual Josie and Maire's table looks very welcoming and laden with good things. Must book a weekend myself there.

Re: BZH - Aug 2016

I attended both of these meets in France and had a great time there. Excellent paddling in the company of like minded people from all over Europe. Super weather, though not guaranteed in Brittany, we got lucky. I guess in Aug you have the best chance. Super food and cheap vin de plonk. What more cou...

Re: ISKA RNLI raffle prize

Don't all rush now for the free injections!!! Bit like the prize I found abandoned on the table of a free session with AJ....I asked AJ if he would be buying the beer but he explained it wasn't that kind of session so I left it there. Of course the wife said I should have taken it. Was it ever claim...

Re: Round Irelanders abu!

Congrats and well done Paul. Have you written up your trip anywhere. 62 days unsupported and solo in a 15 foot plastic. Some trip when you think most do it in faster longer boats. It's a very long time to spend on your own.

Inishmurray Trip

Recently had a very interesting trip to Inishmurray in the company of Tom Ronayne, Tom Maguire and Alan Roberts as we visited Alan in his new home in Dromahare. I lived in Ballysadare in the late 70s early 80s but never visited Inishmurray. Very glad I got to visit this time. We launched from Streed...

There is no constitution Lorna. Not having one leaves the cttee in a bit of a quandary as to how to go about things like elections but free to make decisions in other ways. Perhaps it's better as long as we have a good cttee to keep an eye on things. The problem might occur if that was not the case,...
