    just spent my first day with Smitty , what an experience , you could never believe what we got up to , i am jiggered , off tomorrow to the practice session ready for Newbridge competition on saturday , looks a challenging day , spending the night in a sunny Dublin , going to try the local brew . John certainly knows how to wear you out , this is truly an area of outstanding beauty and my prescence has certainly helped to enhance it

    Chris had a go at the eagle eye and made
    a nice tidy shoe that looked to be on the money

    Karen , John is a hard taskmaster , i am asleep on my feet , he thinks he has found my true potential , shovelling and speaking **** , i pointed out that "big daddy " had been my mentor so we went to the pub for a pint to mull things over .
    i would like to thank all the lads for a truly great weekend , the hospitality and friendship was second to none and i accept their offer to return next year

    Tidy looking job. I remember Paul from the international when i was on the exchange in 2009. He was singing the night away at the bar after the banquet. Quite good entertainment.
