  • Summertime...

    Dear Parishioners,

    Carry Centre

    The Social-Fundraiser on May 23rd is sure to be a highlight of the year. More

    details on page 15.

    Query

    As we come to the end of the 3rd Volume of The Obelisk, I would be keen to

    hear from you, the Readers, of what things you like to see appear in the

    magazine. Have you got suggestions of what we might include in Volume 4?

    Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

    Golf Outing

    Due to unforeseen circumstances the date for the Golf Outing has been

    changedI draw you attention to the new details on page 20.

    Patronal Festival

    We celebrate our Patronal Festival every year on Trinity Sunday. This year it

    will happen on Sunday June 15th. I have invited the Very Revd Kenny Hall to be the guest preacher at 10.45am. Dean Hall is Rector of Enniskillen and Dean of

    Clogher. During his tenure as Dean he has welcomed Queen Elizabeth to the

    Cathedral and in an historic move accompanied her to the neighbouring Roman

    Catholic Cathedral.

    After the service we will have our annual parish lunchmore details on page 18.

    Final thoughts

    As we enter into the Summer season, I hope and pray you all find time for rest

    and refreshment in, what I hope will be, another great Summer!

    With all good wishes,

    Sports Spot My Sporting Life I was born with sport in my blood! I have a newspaper

    photograph of my parents wedding with the caption Two Tennis Stars Wed and they were good at other sports also, so it was always in the family as I was growing up.

    My first real love was Hockey which I played at Wesley

    College and later for Pembroke Wanderers. At school I

    also liked Swimming and can still remember the

    excitement of the annual Gala!

    After I was married I played Squash (in what is now

    Westwood), which is a great quick game for when one has

    small children because it is possible to have a good

    exercise session and yet only be away from home for little more than an hour. Next

    came Table Tennis and my introduction to the Carry Hall where, week after week

    there was fun and laughter plus of course serious matches! I was match secretary of

    the United Churches Table Tennis League for a few years, a job I really enjoyed

    because I could see who beat who throughout the Parishes! I also dabbled a little in

    Holy Trinitys morning Badminton but did not have time to play regularly. Despite my parents coaxing I did not play tennis seriously until I was in my late

    twenties when I joined De Vesci Tennis Club and was immediately hooked, playing in all the different League matches throughout each year. I served on committee

    there for many years and had the honour of being Lady Captain and President of the

    Club.

    Like so many people Golf seems to follow Tennis and that was my next step,

    although I played both for ten years. I joined Carrickmines Golf Club 21 years ago

    and just loved the game straight away even though it was slower and I was hitting a

    stationary ball, when anything else I had ever hit was moving! Again I served on

    various committees in the Club, was Secretary of the Ladies Section for three years

    and was honoured to be Lady Captain in 2009.

    I would strongly recommend that all able young people participate in at least one or

    two different sports particularly team ones, as there is nothing quite so exhilarating

    as the unique thrill of sharing a win with other team members and through that they

    also learn the lesson of commitment, which stands to them throughout life. Sport is

    a truly great relief for all kinds of stress and tensions and friendships made through it

    can be very strong and supportive, often lasting a lifetime.

    Some of my influence passed on to both our children because our daughter reached

    a much more senior level at Hockey than I ever did and our son, who is a single

    handicap golfer, is now taking part in Triathlons. I have taken my granddaughter

    swimming regularly since she was nine months old and now, at almost six years of

    age, she is learning tennis and wants me to play with her! How I would love to do a

    U-turn and start all over again in reverse if only!! Helen Irwin

    From the Tower Tea Rooms...

    My name is Jennifer and I manage the Tower

    Tea Rooms located in the original gate lodge to

    Victoria Park (just off Killiney Hill Road). Ive lived in Killiney for the past 20 years with my

    husband, Jonathan, who is also in the catering

    business. We met over 30 years ago when we

    both worked in Fitzpatricks Castle Hotel. We have 3 children (twin girls and 1 boy (who is

    currently studying hard for the Leaving Certificate!)).

    People often say to me what a wonderful place

    to work and I have to agree I do enjoy working

    on the Hill. The most magical time is early in

    the morning before you open and all you can

    hear are the birds singing as the morning light comes streaming through the

    windows. The moment you open the shutters its all systems go. From the early jogger popping in for a quick takeaway coffee at the end of their run to the

    regulars who pop in for a slow cappuccino, a slice of lemon zest cake and a chat of

    course! I get to meet some really great people and we have built up a great

    customer base over the last year and a half whilst we have been in operation.

    Myself and the team (Cloe, Stephen and Greg) have become acquainted with all

    our customers and, of course, the dogs who we love to spoil with our doggie

    treats. Customers say its a great asset to the community, being able to walk the dog and then stop on the way for a coffee or a bowl of soup and a sandwich. So if

    you havent been in yet, pop in and say hello!

    Description

    Another calendar app makes its way to the

    App Store, this time though its been designed to compliment the translucency of

    iOS7. The natural language input is

    particularly useful just type meet with Sarah at lunch tomorrow and itll add as an event at the right time. Handy to-do lists

    are also included, so you don't need to keep flicking over to a separate app

    for that. A nice, pretty complete package that gets timely updates.

  • Pack your bag to Australia We flew to Sydney in early January to visit our son, Geoff, his wife Sarah and boys

    Harry (6) and Jamie (4). They live

    in Allambie on Sydney's north

    shore a forty minute drive from the airport crossing the iconic

    Harbour Bridge. After a joyful

    reunion we sat on their deck

    under a cloudless sky shaded by a

    gum tree, listening to the

    cockatoos, lorikeets and the

    occasional kookaburra.. There

    were also water dragons taking

    the sun on the bank by a nearly

    stream.

    The local swimming beaches are Curl Curl and Freshwater where we swam with

    the boys nearly every day during our holiday. There was also some tasks to be

    undertaken, such as laying a path and recladding a car port. The vegetable garden

    was also tackled once we had assurances that there were no snakes, the spiders

    were friendly and the geckos (small lizards) are great at eating slugs.

    We celebrated Australia Day on 20th January by joining in a flotilla of boats sailing

    from Manly past Shark Island and Fort Denison to Darling Harbour. By the bridge

    there were two tug boats turning quite magically as if dancing to the tune of

    Waltzing Matilda being played

    by a band on Circular Quay.

    Later that day we took

    refreshments at the Rocks, an

    historical part of Sydney.

    At weekends there was dinghy

    sailing at the Balmoral Sailing

    Club near Mosman. Geoff and

    Sarah raced their dinghy aptly

    named ESCAPEE. I joined the

    crew of the rescue boat in

    mark laying and assisting

    whenever necessary.

    We returned home with wonderful memories of friendly people, sunny days,

    awesome surf beaches and barbeques.
