Adventures in Beaune

Led by Past President Maurice & Hilly, Past Presidents Brian & Rosie Clements, Craig & Orla McClelland, Campbell & Gaile Morton and John & Hester O’Carroll left Dublin for Lyon airport Wednesday 06 June and that is when their 5 day wonderful adventure began! 

The visit, organised by former member Derek and Sandra Forshaw and despite some inclement weather, was a fantastic success featuring wine tasting from vineyards in this beautiful area, attending a dinner meeting of the Rotary Club of Beaune when so many of their members arrived extra tables had to be set up, wandering around the town of Beaune with the highlight of the trip being the visit of the group to chez Forshaw’s gorgeous home. Sadly it rained so they had to enjoy the great spread of food sitting inside, however it did not deter the great craic, chat and singing.

Thanks are extended to Past President Maurice for co-ordinating the visit and Past Presidents Alan Rundle & Craig McClelland for driving and especially to Derek Forshaw for co-ordinating it all in France.
