DROMBOUGHIL WALKING GROUP

On Thursday 14th June 2012, despite the unpromising weather forecast, a group of dedicated, or ever so slightly insane walkers headed off up the road from the Centre just after 7.00pm.

 

 After walking for a while we arrived at a spot where we could turn right and be back in the Centre comparatively soon or go straight ahead and  go the long way.  A conference was held.  I had resorted to walking without my glasses off as it was getting difficult not having wipers on them.

 
 Should have brought a coat as well!


You guessed it we went straight ahead, taking the long route, but just think of all the wonderful exercise.
I was a little bit damp by the time we got back, hot shower here I come!  It turned out that my husband had driven passed us on the road and wondered who the bunch of idiots walking in the rain were.


Having said all this I wouldn't have missed it and the walks continue on Thursday nights leaving the Community Resource Centre at 7.00pm very professionally guided by Mr Dan McGrellis.  Come and see the beauty of your local countryside and enjoy good exercise and chat with your fellow walkers.

We are trying a new venture.  Ladies, you know what it's like fitting in any exercise when you have a toddler in the house, (or maybe you think you get enough just keeping them out of mischief).  Well, we have a Mothers and toddlers zumba and games morning in the Community Resource Centre where the mothers get time to do a little exercise while the children play safely.

Initially it will run until Monday 14th May 2012 from 11.15am - 12.00 noon.  Further dates will be published here on the blog and on our Facebook page so keep checking.

Everyone will be most welcome and just think of the fun you could have!

Dromboughil Charity Coffee morning and Easter Bonnet Contest

Saturday 31st March 2012 we held our coffee morning to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer (The Eve Appeal) and it was a brilliant success with amazing support from the local community and those further afield and over £800 was raised for the charity.  Thank you all who supported us in this venture.

Our guest and judge for the Easter Bonnet Competition was Joe Mahon, of Lesser Spotted Ulster fame.  The hats were magnificent as shown by the following photos!
