Gavin Finnegan represented An Riocht at the South Down Convention; congratulations to Michael O'Rourke who was returned as South Down GAA Secretary.

 

The Men's Shed had an away day in Belfast last week taking in a tour of City Hall and the Christmas Market. Becoming a member of a Men's Shed gives a man a safe and busy environment in an atmosphere of friendship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a chat and a cuppa if that is all they're looking for. Members of Men's Sheds can come from all walks of life - the bond that unites them is that they are men with time on their hands and they would like something meaningful to do with that time be it wood working, painting, reading, gardening, going on trips, whatever.

 

Keep Wednesday evening, 21st December free for our traditional Christmas Family Table Quiz.
