Up to 93 persons attending as of yesterday.

 

Can all unsold tickets be returned as soon as possible.

Thanks to those who popped in last night to the lough Bar and those who have been submitting Spot prizes.

Great credit is due to Emma Sheehan, Teresa Hogan, Mike Hynes, Maeve Callinan, Ronnie Hurley, Doc Tom and Brian Kearney for working behind the scenes to get the tickets out there for the event. With a little breathing space, the numbers have been reached, the guys can focus on the last minute arrangements.

Don't forget to book hotel as soon as possible if intending to stay.

Please work on any outstanding Spot prizes and get them any member of the committee as soon as possible.

 

So get the suits and dresses out of storage. Forget the semi's, drysuit and fins for a while. Take a bath in soapy water instead of the sea or Portroe and I'll see you for a great night in the Savoy on the 10th July.

 

Just taking a minute out to ponder on this event, I am overwhelmed by the fact that it is indeed one of the oldest Sub Aqua Clubs in Ireland. The Club has had it's ups and downs but, Club still has a thriving membership, and a great thanks to all those current and past members who will come along on the 10th July to celebrate it's establishment.

 

Credit is due to our esteemed Honorary and long serving members, Mike Hynes, Brian Kearney, Ronnie Hurley, Frank Corr, Doctor Tom, John Breen & Maeve Callanan. They have renewed their association with the club on a year by year basis and continue to offer advice and support to the Newbie's who beaver away to keep the Club going. The current Club membership and those yet to grace it's doors owe so much to those who strive to get this club started and keep it going throughh out the years.

I take pride in been a member of Limerick Sub Aqua, I look forward to celebrating Limerick Sub Aqua long heritage and I want to take this opportunity to say
