Eily’s Report – 17th June
Dia is mhuire diobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.
It’s great to be packing and going off on holiday, but alas coming home is never easy. The tiredness sets in and is in no hurry leaving. But the memories of a wonderful trip never go away and with a few pictures and leaflets to sustain special moments, you can’t go wrong. Fifty three senior citizens climbed aboard Darren Keely’s super bus in the West End on Monday June 9 and for the next five days it was enjoyment all the way. We were booked into the beautiful Arklow Bay hotel in County Wexford. It was ad lib breakfast every morning and a four course dinner on our return in the evening. Our days were full and varied. We went to Glendalough and Powerscourt House in brilliant sunshine. Also the National Park in Wexford and boarded the infamous Dunbrody Famine Ship in New Ross. There was time for shopping and a visit to a lovely four acre Lavender Farm where we were treated to fresh scones and tea/coffee on the house. Everywhere we went we were shown videos of the places we were in and guides to make sure we got the most out of our stay. The weather was delightful and the scenery was sublime. Wicklow is a beautiful county. All along the way the lust green fields and crops made you say a silence prayer to thank the Good Lord for it. Their landscape shows no evidence of damage by wind and rain, it is easy to see that they get much less harsh weather than we do. We were alerted to Irelands biggest bridge just on time to view it properly as our coach moved over it. The Rose FitzGerald-Kennedy Bridge spans the river Barrow between Counties Kilkenny and Wexford. It is awesome, different to any we’ve seen so far in Ireland. The enjoyment continued on into the evenings when after dinner some took scenic walks of the local area, others who were not so adventurous enjoyed a game of forty five but all were into the ballroom to finish the day with music, song and dance.

Summer Sunshine shines favourably for The Blackwater Valley Vintage Group Summer Evening Car Run
The Summer Weather came out in force for The Blackwater Valley Vintage Group Summer Car Run held on last Saturday Evening where 75 Cars signed on for
the Event which was in Aid of BUMBLEance Children’s Ambulance Service,the starting point was the Cullen Community Centre where the Bumbleance Ambulance was also on display.
The Cars left Cullen just after 6pm and made there way on a Scenic Route up to Knocknagree and then on to Ballydesmond, Sugan Road,Cordal and over to Castleisland before heading out the Abbeyfeale Road and then turning left and heading up into some spectacular views of the Countryside that brought the Cars down into the Finish at O`Riadas Bar and Restuarant near Ballymacelligott, the weather played its part being most favourable for the occasion where the views on the Countryside travelled never dissappoint particularly on a fine Summer Evening and once we reached the finish this was followed by Refreshments and Musical Entertainment supplied by Sheila Conor Brosnan Barry O Halloran Sheila Heery and Tim Joe and Anne O’Riordan.
At the Finish of the Event the BUMBLEance Children’s Ambulance Service Vehicle was again on display at O Riadas Bar Ballymacelligott and a viewing of this very impressive Vehicle gives a person an idea of the great Work and Service this voluntary group carry out for seriously ill Children.
There was an open draw made before the start of the Run in Cullen for a Shield sponsored by Cork Music Station and this was won by Ray Corkery in his Toyota Corolla.
