Section News – Irish Section – for March Journal
.....
I hope that we’ve seen the end of the winter wonderland and now we can look forward to some decent bike weather, but be careful as some of the roads are in a terrible state with craters for potholes.
Our new website is up and running (thanks to Daithi) it is now the place to visit for up to the minute information for what’s happening within the section. All our events are on the front page in google maps so that with a click of the mouse and zoom in you can see exactly where an event is taking place. The site can be reached directly by typing www.bmwclub.ie into your browser.
As I write this (end of January) our Mini Thatch is fully booked so it should be a great weekend. I hear that quite a few Leinster members attended Maddocks evening for Haiti, Keary’s in Cork have also had a ride out, again all benefits’ to Haiti. I’m sure you will join me in extending our condolences to Anne McDonald on the passing of her Father.
Finally what of our section hero’s foray to the "Elefant Treffen", Brendan Lang our treasurer saw them off at Dublin Port and got some photos (see the "news" tab) Lastly, I heard they were on course but with some mechanical calamities but nothing that would be beyond their resourcefulness and determination.

Section News – Irish Section – for February Journal … Hope you all had a
great Christmas and a very happy New Year to you all for
2010. First of
all, I would like to apologise for the lack of Irish Section
news in the January journal.
Hopefully we are now back on track and we will have
some news for you for the rest of this year.
We have a packed
Diary of Events, which you should all have received by now
and our first big event will be
The Mini Thatch
which will be held in the newly re-furbished "Old Deanery"
holiday cottages, in Killala, Co Mayo on 27th
February to 1st March. As you know Brendan
Lang has agreed to be the Booking Secretary for the coming
year and all bookings payments etc., to be sent directly to
him. Please send
in your cheques/postal-orders/bank drafts payable to “BMW
Club – Irish Section” to Mr B.T. Lang, 34 Woodview Park,
Castleknock, I hear from Anne
McDonald that the annual Christmas lunch in Old Conna Golf
Club was well attended again this year, with 33 members
having Sunday lunch.
Unfortunately the Connolly family couldn’t make it
this year, as Mary wasn’t very well and I am very glad to
hear that she is now back to full health again. Jim Sweeney had to
cancel the annual January hill walk in the Wicklow mountains
and lunch, as the leader who normally takes them out and
organises the walk was away in Eight members are
travelling to the "Elefantenttreffen" the famous elephant
rally held on 29 to 31 January on a mountain in Hopefully we will
have a good Spring and it will be great to see members
taking part in the various events that the committee has
organised this year. …….. T J McHale – Club
