Hi guys,

Really looking forward to this now. Have to find someone to bring with me though, daughter is heading for an Op on the Tuesday so I'm guessing she WONT be going. (PJ, looks like you're the only medic going again unless she feels well enough! )

So, meeting on the Friday is it?
Word to the wise for the run on Sat and Sun, avoid Knock. According to my young one, the order of malta national pilgrimage is on and theres an expected 2500 people descending on knock from the order of malta alone, and then the normal pilgrim go'er's too. Traffic Jam in Knock eh? who'd have thunk it!

noted! Detour knock so, good to have u coming ncnally, best of luck to your daughter.

2 weeks today FOLKS!
Sunday morn I think should be a relaxed affair with more barbie brekkies,tyre kicks and then everyone head off home in their general direction.
Anyone got anything to add to this, please do.

A Sunday run @ 11am ? The N61 to Roscommon is fun.. maybe lunch in the Hudson bay hotel?

Theres a beautiful campsite right beside the Hudosn Bay, is anyone is interested in staying for an extra nights camping.

Some crack if we get 23 cars on the beach all doing donuts at the same time

I reckon keeping everyone together on the run is going to be the tricky one

CAMPING WEEKEND - SATURDAY DINING OUT
I've received the following menu for The Moving Stairs Restaurant in Boyle. They inform me that they can accommodate all of us on the Saturday night. Very varied menu, including Vegetarian and Children's, and looks good value IMHO. The bar downstairs in the restaurant is noted as one of the top places for trad music in Roscommon and has sessions every weekend. I have provisionally booked us in but if the general consensus is to go elsewhere, so be it. As the reservation will have to be confirmed please take a look at the menu and let me know if it is yeh or neh.
