In addition, can we thank all those who attended our first “Out-to-Lunch” of the season held in Armagh Golf Club Parkland restaurant We had 22 attendees who agreed the food was excellent, the company good and the craic to be appreciated. The consensus was that this was a success and we need to plan another.

| We are hoping to plan another coffee morning later this month so watch this space. Full details will follow once the venue and date are agreed upon. |
| |
 The main problem in restarting these is finding a suitable venue. We have lost the use of the Armagh Golf Club and are still searching for a suitable alternative. Again we will keep you informed of developments. |

 As in previous years, we are hoping to organise a December quiz and want to know the format you prefer. There are two options; a pub quiz format with teams and a quiz master or a more relaxed affair where a paper quiz is available and you complete this at your leisure. Let us know by clicking on the button below. What type of quiz? |
