Well in Roundstone we have really come to the end of all the activities that were held during the summer, but having said that it’s been a good busy week in Roundstone what with christenings, and birthdays and Music and dancing and still a good few visitors trickling in

Connemara Pony Sale: 
Saturday, Paddy the yank had his first Connemara pony sale up on the show grounds, I must say for the first time to do this, there was quite a good turn out, there were a few foals sold exactly how many I can not be sure. In the afternoon there was the judging of foals, the judge being Kieran Mullen from County Clare the idea was to choose three filly foals and colt foals, and out of that six to select the winning foal of the day, which incidentally was a filly foal owned by John Joe O’Neill from Galway. Talking to Paddy this morning he was telling me that he is now looking at the possibility of a two day sale for next year, bringing in the Sunday i.e. make a weekend for this event.

Community Games:
Yesterday Johnny Sheehan had the annual Community Games, on the tennis courts with sport events, golf, toss the wet sponge at the Roundstone Clown, Oliver Coyne volunteered for the wetting very sporting of him, Darts to hit some fivers, bouncing castle, kids disco with Mike O’Malley and a B/Q with head Chef Geraldine Coyne. All in all a very successful event with masses of Kids. Our Thanks to Pious Delapp, Patrick McDonagh, who gave freely of their time to set the whole thing up, and to thank all those who stayed behind to clear up i.e. Denis Kane and Oliver Coyne. However the day did not stop there, there was an adults Disco in the evening in the Shamrock Bar again with Mike O’Malley, a great way to end off the day. Now we are looking to arrange some sort of entertainment during the Halloween period.
