Harry Joe’s Golf Society
The Harry Cup Competition was played last Saturday August 23rd in the Goldcoast Golf Club in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. This Perpetual Cup is played for every year in honour of Harry Groome, one of the founding members of Harry Joes. A group of 39 golfers braved the wet and windy conditions. Declan Stapleton emerged the winner with Anthony Kelly in second place and James O’Mahony third. The Society would like to thank Don Ryan, Ryan Chilling Group for his very generous sponsorship of the day. The next outing will be held in Mountrath Golf (President’s Prize) on Saturday October 11th.

Night out in Japan
The above pictures were taken in Yokohama the night before Seán and Miyo’s wedding. The guests enjoyed a traditional Japanese meal washed down with plenty of sake! The Irish contingent then proceeded to the Comodo bar where the barman nicknamed ‘Seán Óg’ was ever so friendly!

Seeking Accomodation in Borrisoleigh
We recently received an email from a French teaching assistant, Alexandra Merdy, who is coming to teach in St Joseph’s College in September. She is looking for accomodation in Borrisoleigh starting on 27th September. She is prepared to stay with a family and give them French lessons or else rent an apartment. She will not have a car so walking distance to the school is important. If there is anyone with a room to rent in their home or with an apartment to rent, you can contact Alexandra by email at alex.mdy@laposte.net or else by phone on 0033679039015 (you can leave a message in English if you get voicemail!)
