Welcome along Penelope ( I assume that's your name). Yes, we are sadly lacking in lady members with the exception of one or two, maybe three, ladies contributing on a regular basis. You'd be more than welcome to come along to any gathering. The frequencies of such events WILL increase as the weather gets better, look forward to meeting you on one of them..which part of Wicklow you based?, I'm in Kildare so we might be near-neighbours :P
