For various reasons some swimmers could not attend last week’s swim
and took part in the fundraising event on Saturday 15th January 2012
in much cooler conditions than their fellow swimmers last week!
Eileen Murphy welcomed everone and Stephen Tarrant of Tarrants Bar
handed out the well deserved t-shirts!
32 swimmers participated over the two days of the swim,
well done to all!
At the Boeing new year swim he is always first in
Mick Collins the fellow with anti freeze skin
For one in his late fifties or early sixties not much younger than me
He is quite a tough nut would you not agree
Age is a relative thing the brave Mick does not feel old
Like the Arctic bear he must be immune to cold
One can say in him there is much to admire
To greater things far younger than him he inspire
The Boeing swim committee wish to thank each and every one who supported the 2012 swim especially our brave swimmers and supporters who came out and made today such a huge success, well done!
A special thank you to the LTV 2 team (Seanie, Willie and Brendan), to John Tarrant from the Corkman and Eilly Buckley and County Sound 103 FM who gave us great support with advertising and in getting information out to the public so quickly, many thanks.
We would like thank our generous sponsors who supported us again this year, The Bush Bar,Tarrant’s Bar and Super Valu Millstreet.
We the committee acknowledge and appreciate that the Boeing swim could not and would not be the success it is without the support, goodwill and hard work that is so generously given by all.
With the help of god we will all be there again next year. Health,wealth,peace and happiness to you and yours for 2012.
