Club Charity BBQ 2014

BBQ01The Club Charity BBQ was a splendid afternoon held Sunday 14 September in the ambient surroundings of CIYMS Sports Complex.

It was greatly enjoyed by over 60 members, family and friends and we were delighted to also welcome some Inner Wheel Club members including President Beryl Crawford. Although the weather did not encourage many onto the terrace it did not dampen the enjoyment of another of PP Brian Clements' fabulous BBQs - delicious lamb roasts and chicken accompanied by potatoes, roasted vegetables and salad topped off with mouth-watering BBQ'd bananas, dressed with marshmallows and liquor sauce. It was so delicious seconds were the order of the day!

"Went to the Dogs" at Drumbo Park

1.Rotary Party23 Members, partners and friends spent an excellent evening 'at the dogs!', Friday 2 May.

Having enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal, with plenty of choice the racing of the evening began - and there was plenty with 11 "live" races at the Stadium and 12 shown on the TV's from Harold's Cross Stadium, Dublin. With the betting explained by the patient Tote staff we tried our luck but unfortunately for some Courtenays Icon or Courtenays Impact brought no joy; nor did any runners in the Rotary President Ken Morrison Stakes!

However great fun and fellowship was had by all added to by singing, the cake and bubbly to celebrate Lord Laird wife's birthday. Thank you Doris for organising such a fun night.
