Sligo Field Club Outing
April 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Sligo Field Club are planning an outing to Strandhill on 9th May, meeting @6.15 at St Ann’s Church. St. Ann’s itself and Rathcarrick House are the purpose of the visit – more details when they are available.
I’ve been to a number of Field Club events over the past number of years, and they are extremely good. Lots of interesting people, with a great depth of local knowledge.

I took this photo back in 2005.

Slightly obscured by the ivy, you can just see the “R” and “VII” – Edward the Seventh – who reigned from 1901 to 1910.
Are there any more of these in Strandhill or Ransboro?
