Newsletter
Club Barbecue,
Saturday 13 July
One week after the
excitement of the Comeragh Crossing, we’re fundraising again for our three
charities: Dungarvan Lions Club, West Waterford Hospice and South-East Mountain
Rescue. But this time the event will be a lot more relaxing – a club barbecue
with generous hosts Linda and Colm Humphreys. You’re asked to bring your own
meat and beverages, but there will be salads and desserts available. Tickets
are €5 and are available from Linda Humphreys on 086 6490688
Cunnigar Crossing
Now that the
Comeragh Crossing is behind us, all eyes will be on our next big walk, the
Cunnigar Crossing. Enquiries are already coming into the club’s Facebook page
for this hugely popular family event, which is happening on Sunday 1 September
this year. We’ll have more information about it in our next newsletter. And again,
it raises money for our three chosen charities.
Venue for
Christmas Party
At long last,
after much debate which culminated in a vote being carried out during our Sligo
weekend away, the venue for our Christmas party has been chosen. It was a
close-run competition between the Tennis Club, the Park Hotel party nights and
Merries Restaurant. Merries won out in the end. Ronagh Baumann had already
provisionally booked Merries and that booking has now been confirmed for
Saturday 7 December. Thanks to Ronagh for her efforts and patience in
organising this, and to Mary Murphy for conducting the vote in Sligo. One could
say it’s never too early to plan – or too late, depending on your viewpoint.
Successful
Physiotherapist Meeting
Physiotherapist
John Phelan attracted a large crowd to our club meeting on Tuesday 4 June last.
He specialises in physiotherapy and nutritional health for older people, and
gave a lot of valuable advice about how to build muscle strength and how to
deal with common complaints like plantar fasciitis and arthritis. He also
advised on what foods give you energy for walks – it’s out with bread and in
with protein-based foods.
