ROTARY
WEEKEND BREAK
Last weekend the 18th
to 20th Feb saw the by now annual visit by Donaghadee Rotary Club
members and their wives to The Brown Trout Aghadowey. This year they were
accompanied by two of their honorary members. The honorary member from
Newtownards insisted on being last to retire each evening but was unable to
appear for breakfast on Saturday morning. The President Elect Peter Irwin
arrived equipped with a built in plaster of Paris pint holder courtesy of the
Ulster Hospital. This was not as one would have expected of a well-known sailor
the result of sea fairing incident but the result of an altercation with a barn
door. One of the member’s wives who
it might be best not to name made a startling disclosure at breakfast on
Saturday about her husband’s bedroom activities, which left the remainder of
the diners in stitches. Due to the usual spot on
preplanning for which Donaghadee are renowned the members arrived on a
non-international Rugby weekend. This resulted in the men being at a loss for
something to do on Saturday while the ladies went on the usual shopping spree to
Coleraine. This year they were without their fashion advisor Joan McKeague who
was unfortunately unable to attend the weekend. Four of the male members decided
to go on a health de-tox trip to Portstewart and Coleraine. One member a
well-known moaner objected to being in the company of two caravan users and a
rambler. What made matters worse was the fact that the rambler insisted on
wearing his prayer shawl. The caravan users were in their
element as they displayed their latest electronic gadgets to the staff of HMV
records and the patrons of a local Coleraine hostelry. One of the four amigos
was severely criticised by the other three for knowing that his wife’s new
boots did not match the colour of a handbag she was examining with a view to
purchasing. The afternoon health trip
gradually went downhill until the amigos ended up supping real ale in
Coleraine's least inexpensive bar. The members would like to thank their secretary Robert who ensured that no glass remained unfilled. As usual all enjoyed a good weekend. And, returning to that other break, here's a clue to how it happened!
