MOUNTAINEERING
IN COUNTY ANTRIM The peaceful scene meant we did not have to escape at a fast pace back to our iron steeds which sped us to half way house near Ballygally. There were no half measures of the delicious snacks served to us hungry mountaineers. They were consumed, Al Fresco, at leisure in the balmy air from the east overlooking the azure blue tranquil sea at Barbados Bay or some said Ballygally Bay. It was just a wonderful ending to a lovely day - Enjoyed by all. The following newspaper cutting might precipitate a review by each rambler on the need for a new rucksack!

Saturday 30th September was our Closing Day event and the weather turned out to be as miserable as the number of players that turned up to play in the event. A big Thank you must go to the six players that supported the Closing Day but although there were intermittent showers all the players were determine to play the closing day event. Play began as a round robin style event where each player would have opportunity to play against each other with four games per match. During one of the heavy showers mid afternoon we took our customary break for light refreshments of tea, scones and cakes. Play continued throughout the afternoon with some of the matches playing through the rain. Conditions continued to deteriorate and as the rain was now constant it was decided to call a close to the tournament at just after 5 pm. Prizes
were awarded to the top four players who had gained the most points
from the games played. The prize winners were Ian Burch, Denis
Moore, Florence Corrigan and Neil Templeton.
Again a BIG THANK YOU to all who participated in the wet but enjoyable day. Ian
Burch
Following the dinner, our thoughts turned to television with a quiz based on TV Game shows. Each round was based on a different quiz show such as Family Fortunes, Catchphrase, Question of Sport and Who wants to be a Millionaire. Five
teams completed in six different TV Quiz rounds and the eventual
Congratulations to "Ronnies Gang" on being Closing Day quiz winners and thank you to everyone who contributed to a great day. Ian

THANK
YOU FROM MICHAEL and ELIZABETH We shared with you how he is blessing with increased numbers and involvement that have led to the move of premises for the work in December. We are excited as we contemplate the larger place, although we will leave the Upper room with many great memories of God's miracles and blessings. We pray for you as you continue to be salt and light in a dark world. May the club continue to be a place of fellowship and fun and a witness to the world of our Lord Jesus Christ. With
Love in Christ
