September 24 Update
Beannachtai to members Laois RTAI,
Another month slipping by and getting close to our monthly social day again.
Firstly, thanks to all who attended our September Social at Castlecomer where we had a very informative walk around the estate in which is based the Castlecomer Discovery Park. Afterwards the group retired to the Avalon Hotel (have observed since that it is listed in the Irish Independent Top 100 Hotels in Ireland) for tea/coffee and scones in a very comfortable privately designated room. Thanks to our member Anne Purcell for proposing and organising both the tour and the hotel and the only pity was that we hadn't a bigger attendance for what was a very enjoyable outing on a nice sunny day.
Anyway, to our October Social and one major change of day/date as due to a clash with the RTAI National Secretaries (& officers) Conference on the first Tuesday our social is moved to WEDNESDAY 2nd OCTOBER . The venue is MOUNTMELLICK and a visit to The Mountmellick Lace Museum at the Mountmellick MDA followed by the usual tea/coffee & scones in the adjoining Hare's Corner Restaurant. If you are attending please assemble at the venue for 2.00pm.
Apologies for short notice re. this event (and especially change of day) but I had hoped to get an October slot for our intended Dail visit. Unfortunately, there was no suitable availability and it may be the New Year before such becomes available.
As always if you are aware of members who are not on our e-mail list would you kindly inform them re October Outing. After this there will be only one regular monthly social (probably Tuesday 5th November) and probably a Table Quiz as we had none so far this year. December then is the month of our AGM and Christmas Social-date to be arranged.
A REMINDER for those interested in Golf (especially if you're not in Whatsapp Group) that the Golf Outing (as notified in previous August e-mail)in Rathdowney Golf Club is on this Thursday 26th September. If you intend to attend and haven't contacted the organiser Mary McCarthy (087-2221490) please do so as there may be a change to starting time.
