Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1231 from Millstreet.
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this soft and dewy Tuesday morning.
First this morning I’d like to extend a fond Slan Abhaile, a Bon Voyage or a plain Goodbye to all the people who have been with us in recent times. Equestrian people, Stall holders, Volunteers, caterers or the general public who just came to see.
Millstreet is resting today following a long line of events which came in quick succession since the middle of April. Prestigious Horse events with the weeklong International Juggling fitted in between that brought over 70 countries into Millstreet & Ireland.
There were many highlights along the way. Too many for me to mention. But the most outstanding of all had to be the Eventing at Drishane on the early days of July. That day Noel C clocked up another notch on his long list of earthmoving achievements.
Not even the Wallis’s, the ancient Landlords of Drishane, could have outdone the mammoth performance that he brought off that day. And the good news is that it remains intact. It is a vast extension of 300 acres, to his existing show grounds.
Ready at any given time, to do it all again.
