Once again we held our Club Christmas Dinner at Gowdy’s of Down Royal where we had a most enjoyable meal with plenty of good craic.
The pictures below were taken on our September weekend (Friday 27th to Sunday 29th Sept) Setting off from Ballygawley Roundabout the run took in a scenic route via Clones and Butlers Bridge before proceeding down the main road via Granard and Edgeworthstown to Longford town. We stayed 2 nights in the very comfortable Longford Arms Hotel and Spa.
On Saturday we visited Strokestown Park House and Famine Museum where we got a most interesting guided tour of this 18th century mansion.
On Sunday we made our way to Dromod Railway & Transport Museum which contained a great range of narrow gauge trains, buses, planes, fire engines and artillery guns from World War I & II. Most of these were outside in the elements so luckily it was dry for our visit.
This year we visited the Andrew Jackson Cottage and US Ranger’s Centre in Carrickfergus where we had an excellent guided tour. We also had a picnic there before heading off along the Antrim Coast road to Glenarm harbour. We had our evening meal in Ballyclare Golf Club. The weather was fantastic!
The weather was fairly good for this year’s show with only a few heavy showers at the start of the day. As you can seen in the photos the field had unfortunately not be recently mowed – a major complaint from all in attendance.
The photos below were taken on the Mourne Run. Another great run in this beautiful part of the country, stopping off for some refreshments in the Cake Room, Strangford, and finishing up for our meal in Rockmount Golf Club, Carryduff.
The photos below were taken on the Mourne Run which was held on Sunday 12th May. An excellent day with tremendous weather and great scenery!
Club members attended this charity event and handed over a cheque for £150 for Downs Syndrome.
The Photos below were taken at the Club’s visit to Jim Black’s Rolls Royce Restoration works on 6th February 2019. This is an internationally recognised company dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of historic Rolls Royce cars, with particular expertise in the Silver Ghost models. We were all fascinated with the history of Rolls Royce and amazed at the quality of the workmanship being carried out here.
