SAMPLE NEWSLETTER April2003

Hello and let me extend a very warm welcome to all our new members.
I think the message we as a committee have taken from our Monday nights trip to Tom Turkinton’s Mini Museum is that
'Organise an interesting outing and the members will support it'
  On Monday 31st March there were a total of 54 members and friends who made the trip to Ballywalter for what turned out to
be a great evening.
  We spent an interesting hour or so viewing Tom’s collection of
cars and then rounded off the night by enjoying a late supper at
Pier 36 in Donaghadee.

Our next event is Albert Reid’s run on Sunday 13th April to Downpatrick.
 For those that our going DO NOT FORGET we are meeting at Rick’s restaurant Carry Duff, and for those that are not going don't worry you are too late anyway.

If you have never visited the Ulster Museum at Stranmillis, come Sunday 27th April you can change all that by joining us for the "Newtownabbey" run.
 OK I know the Museum is not in Newtownabbey but do not let that spoil it for you.
 We will meet at Ulster Street at 1:45pm for a 2:00pm start.
 Secure parking arrangements have been organised at the Museum and we plan to spend a couple of hours visiting the Museum.
 In addition, if the weather is kind to us, those horticulturalists among us can take time to visit Botanic Gardens and include a visit to the "Ravine".
 Oh! What is that I hear you say, well come along and you can see it for yourself.

Following our visit to the Museum we will make our way down to Carrickfergus where we have arranged, the evening meal in the
Windrose where you will also experience delightful views over the Marina.

Entry forms are included in this month’s newsletter.

NOW FOR THE HUMOUR

'They look just like us.'

Irish they were and drunk for sure and they sat in the corner of Mulligan’s newly refurbished bar.
 Across the wall opposite was a huge mirror, fourteen feet long and stretching from floor to ceiling.

Glancing around the room Pat suddenly spotted their reflection in the mirror.

“Mick, Mick,” he whispered. “Don’t look now but there’s two fellas over there the image of us.

“In the name of his holiness”, said Mick, spotting the reflection. “They’re wearing identical clothes and everything.”

“That does it,” said Pat. “I’m going to buy them a drink.”
 But as Pat started to rise from his seat, Mick said,
  ” Sit down Pat one of them’s coming over!”
