Cobh and Spike Island

 A group from Mallow ARA had a lovely visit on Sunday 14th to Cobh and Spike Island.They travelled by train from Mallow to Cork and on to Cobh. Cobh was buzzing on the day as there was a festival on  with loads of live music and lots of stalls around the harbour.There was a cruise ship " The  Caribbean Princess" in dock also.We had lunch in Cobh and then got the boat to Spike Island and a tour of the Island and prison.We had a lovely guide named John G who was very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions from the group.We spent over 3 hours on the Island. I would highly recommend a visit.
We had lovely sunny weather and had a great time.

We have just had a wonderful afternoon at Kades Counrty Glenville at an afternoon tea dance. The local committee gave us a great welcome and showed us how to do different dances.while Dave Rea provided the wonderful music. We had a break for tea and buns after about an hour and then mini bingo before resuming the dancing. All in all a great time. We will be back!
