At 12 noon, we look forward to welcome Mr George Knight, a renowned local historian, who will speak on: ‘The Maddens of Springrove and the Hands of Bishopscourt‘. Mr Knight’s talks are always captivating and well–researched, and it is wonderful to listen to his presentations, which are both vivid and informative.  
 
Apart from enjoying one another’s company in the tranquil and beautiful ambience of Bishopscourt, there will also be an opportunity for us to buy cakes and plants, and thereby support the important work of the Society.
 
The Bishop of Clogher, the Rt Revd John McDowell, President of the Society will be present.  
 
All warmly welcome.
