The cost will be $50 per person. There are 40-50 openings. So if you are interested, stop by and sign up quickly. As this is a popular event and will fill up fast. The cut off date is July 22nd. (3 weeks before the trip). This event is for club members and family only.

Horseshoe Banquet:

On March 5th we had the Annual Horseshoe Banquet. Prime Rib and Lobster dinner was on the menu. Along with awesome raffle prizes. Everyone had a great time, food was excellent. Thank you to everyone involved in making this another successful event. Anyone interested in signing up for horseshoes please stop by the club.

    Traditional Irish Dinner:

    Saturday, March 12th we had a Traditional Irish Dinner, boiled ham, potatoes, cabbage, turnips, carrots put on by Liam Shalvey and his leprechaun's. A local DJ played traditional Irish songs. Everyone danced through the evening. In spite of the snow storm the attendance was more than expected. Over 70 people enjoyed the feast. Due to the storm we missed having the Irish Dancers. Hopefully next year Mother Nature will be kinder to us.

    March "Thin Ice" Derby:

    On March 19th we had our second derby of the year. It turned out to be a great day with lots of sunshine and fairly warm weather. We had a number of people that came from Norwood, Attleboro, Duxbury, and beyond.

    The winners were:

    Bass: Matt Fitzgerald 4.87 lb., Bev Goos 4.49 lb., Tom Stevens 4.41 lb.
    Pickerel: Marcel Willame 19.5", John Bunar 18.25", Bev Goos 17.875"
    Perch: PJ Howe 11.875"

    Lj's Tip

    Hooked fish and fisherman agree: It's nicer to be unhooked by a barb less hook!
