Regional Report No. 1281 – Tuesday 1st September 2015

Greetings, dear Friends, from Millstreet as we share  Regional Report No. 1281 on Tuesday 1st Sept. 2015.  Full audio details of this week’s report may be accessed through the c103 website (www.c103.ie).  

Eily Buckley (for whom I’m presently deputising) is making great progress following her recent knee procedure.

Millstreet International Horse Trials last weekend – were totally magical at the exquisite Drishane Estate and at Green Glens.   Some really important personages from the Equestrian World were present and expressed their heartfelt enthusiasm at the splendour of the overall setting especially the magic of the Drishane Cross Country Course.    And also blessed with ideal weather conditions on Sunday, 30th August the annual September Horse Fair in Millstreet Town brought a large number of colourful standings while there appeared to be a decrease in the number of horses.

We thank Daniel Igigabel of Pommerit le Vicomte for very kindly updating us with some excellent pictures on the current visit of members of  Millstreet Twinning Association in Brittany for the 30th Anniversary of our official twinning between our two communities.   [read more …] “Regional Report No. 1281 – Tuesday 1st September 2015”
