Jaysis, is it really a month ago

Belated thanks to everyone who came along, especially our friends from across the water. Hopefully youse will still be allowed in next year
And great to see some new faces

I really love the area & the hotel and that's why I organise this every year. And judging by the numbers who turn up (43 for dinner on Saturday !) youse enjoy it too. As long as youse keep turning up I'll keep organising it

Next year's event is 13th - 15th September. A new posting will be put up early 2019
I have 35 rooms booked, same as this year, and the hotel is taking bookings up to the end of the month & then again from March 17th 2019. You may get a reply to a mail during their closed season & you may not

I doubt it. It's not like you'd pass for anything but a paddy

Thanks Jockser and Bin for all the organising.
One of these years there has to be a dry Saturday

Finally got to uploading a few photos and a little video

Howling gales on the spin to Omey Island gave the little drone a few challenges. Of course all the action happened on the way back after the filming.
