DUNGARVAN HILL WALKING CLUB 20TH ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATIONS,
On the
3rd February 2015, a special Club meeting was held in the Tudor House as part
of the celebrations to mark the formation of the Club in 1995. The present
Committee sent out invitations to both the founders and past club members to
attend the meeting. Almost 40 people turned up on the night, past and present
members coming together to reminisce about the past 20 years. Richard Dykes,
the present Chairman had organised a slide show of past walks, meetings,and
holidays, to entertain those present. What about those hairdos!!
FIRST WALK. February 1995
The first
walkers met outside Lawlors Hotel at 2.30 pm sharp, and Colligan woods was the
location for a walk of 6 miles in length. Leaflets of several pages were
produced for individual walks.
Back in
1995, the Club offered Fitness, Friendship Fun and that has not changed in this
year of 2015. Following the presentation by Richard, a delicious celebratory
cake was cut and along with tea, coffee and mouth-watering buns made by the
Club Secretary, Catherine Hayes, a great time was had by all.
