- Hi Suzie
how's it goin? We had Public meeting in Trim Library last night, it was well attended and the energy was good. I would like to get the Powerdown Course going in Trim but am not sure how to proceed.
haven't been in touch with Carrig Dulra for ages, no doubt all is buzzing there as usual.
All the best to you, Mike and all the family
