Belfast and Dublin Clubs meet at the Boyne
An excellent joint meeting organised by the Presidents of Belfast and Dublin Clubs Ronnie Porter and Donald Gordon was held Tuesday 01 September at the Boyne Interpretive Centre and was greatly enjoyed by the 46 participants.
Having joined up at Drogheda Station the group split and, being very fortunate with the clement weather - a perfect day with beautiful sunshine and a cooling, gentle breeze, half had a delightful walk along the Boyne Valley footway to the Battle of the Boyne Centre (around 6 kms covered in 1 hr and 20 mins) the others were given a bus tour of the Boyne Valley area, which included a visit to Navan.
Lunch, an entertaining brief from Dublin Hon. Sec Tony Keegan, guided tour, audio visual displays and a video re-enactment were all packed into the afternoon.
The parties returned to their respective capitals all agreeing it was an excellent day, well organised by the two Presidents, with the uppermost thought that we should do it more often!
