Inishmacsaint Mothers' Union (Clogher)

Members of Inishmacsaint Mothers’ Union arrived back safely and refreshed on Monday 10th May after a pretty hectic weekend.

They left Derrygonnelly in the early hours of the morning on Friday the 7th May and headed for Holyhead. It was a lovely bright morning and everyone was in good spirits which lasted the whole weekend. 

Lots of fun and laughter, so those participating are not sure if the bus driver will bring them again! The weather was sunny but cold, nevertheless all enjoyed the good fresh air in Wales - stopping for a few hours at LLandudno on their way. The group stayed at a lovely hotel in Mold.

The group had an early start every morning and were back in time for dinner each evening. Places of interest visited included Chester, Cheshire Oakes, Betsy-Coed, Snowdon and Llangfair g. On the Sunday morning the group joined for fellowship in All Saints, Hoole where a few hundred people gathered. Everyone enjoyed the lively service and received a great welcome from everyone.

It was great to have friends from the local Methodist Churches joining with the group for this tour, along with other ladies from throughout the Diocese of Clogher. On their way home, believe it or not, those participating were asking "Where are we going next time in two years"?  Needless to say plans have not been made that far ahead yet!
