We are here in Wales for the weekend, We came without a jerk, After all why shouldn’t we? Sure we came in Paddy’s Merc. The weather today is lovely, It really is a God send, We are staying in the Best Western, In a place they call Bridgend. We were just sitting down to dinner When a message came on the wire, We could hardly believe it, when we heard John Folan’s car was on fire. John was back on the road the next morning With another car he had acquired, So we all set off in convoy To explore the Welsh countryside. From the Brecon Mountain Railway We saw valleys, hills and streams. Wales—a land of beauty To remember in our dreams. To finish the day I’m glad to say They surely proved a winner We enjoyed Welsh hospitality As they treated us all to dinner. This is my first time away from home, I’m glad I came to Wales, There is nothing more certain when I go home I’ll surely tell some tales. Of the people I met, the best you could get, I don’t know how they all came together, They must have a pull with whoever it is That has something to do with the weather. We went on a trip to Cowbridge, And then on to the museum, Oh what an experience everyone said, It really was like a dream. On Sunday morning we went to the show And of course the ladies went shopping, You’d swear they were rich, and hadn’t a stitch The way they came home laughing. Now the trip is over but we can’t forget The people who organised it. So I’ll say thanks, and thanks again, They surely did surprise us. I’m bad at names, but I think of John James, He really made an impression, And I want to thank him and the others we met, And look forward to a future session. Poem written by Mick Feeney giving his thoughts on the Trip to Wales. See also page 8. 4 The John Folan Page Hello again! In this issue I put pen to paper to talk about fuel leaks and what can and will go wrong as a result (Stop laughing, Paddy Fahy!). On our overseas run to Wales just before I turned off the Motorway for Bridgend I noticed the smell of petrol in the car.. As I was only a few miles from the hotel I decided to keep going and take a look as soon as we got there (bad idea). About a mile or so from the hotel the car cut out and stupidly I tried to start it again and ig- nited the fumes that had gathered in the engine bay. By keeping the bonnet closed it slowed the spread of the fire and luckily the fire brigade were on the scene in minutes, so the only damage was to the engine bay. So folks, what happened to me may be of some help to someone else. Always, as soon as you smell petrol, check to see what it is, no matter where you are, motorway or not or even half a mile from home. Do not attempt to start the car until you are certain there are no fumes trapped in the confined area under the bonnet. Open the bonnet and vent the area well for a few moments even if you have repaired the leak. So now to something that could prevent all this (again I hear a certain Mr. Fahy laughing). Check all hoses that carry fuel, the connections on these hoses and the carburettor overflow pipe for leaks. Look for signs of cracking on older hoses and replace. Check all hose clips and make sure they are tight. It is worth remembering that today’s unleaded petrol is more volatile and less kind to old hoses. So do a regular check …….. Now back to the Wales run, it was a wonderful few days, and we all had a great time. For those of you who decided not to go, it is something you should con- sider on our next overseas run. It was great to see our friends from Burnley - Phil, Margaret and Ronnie - who made the trip down in two lovely ‘Y’ type Fords, and also all the gang from the South Wales Club. The show on Sunday was superb, with a huge display of fine cars and an autojumble - they even found some fire extin- guishers which were pointed out to me (very funny guys!). All in all, it was worth doing. As for the car, it will repair, just got to bring it home. Until next time, enjoy the summer season of shows, runs and our own big one, the WestRun 2003. Lisdoonvarna and Gort and the Olympic Torch On Tuesday morning, June 17th, thirteen cars from WVVMC left Oranmore at 8.30am, picked up two more in Kinvara, two more in Ballyvaughan and were joined by two others who were already in Lisdoonvarna for a memorable occasion with the Lisdoon- varna Events Group who were celebrating the arrival of the Olympic Torch and the hosting of the Ukrainian Special Olympics Team. After Lisdoonvarna, many of the cars trav- elled to Gort and led the Olympic teams from Serbia and Montenegro to the presentation stand. 5 The Quiz Page 1.

  • Ican: Group Updates March 2021 Hi Everyone, Here Are the Updates from Our Groups Across the Network, Listed in Alphabetical Order
    iCAN: Group Updates March 2021 Hi everyone, Here are the updates from our groups across the network, listed in alphabetical order. Abbey & District Heritage Group, Co Galway Researching other websites – very good material on the Wicklow site Learning from the wide variety of suggestions coming from Lorna Time spent on Zoom and on-line training Upskilling on genealogy - Eileen Main project for this year is having an old Irish book written about the south-east Galway area and first published in 1932 translated into English and Modern Irish. Work is proceeding well on this and translation has been completed. We have proof-read the first draft and are now consulting with the designer and publisher as we hope to have the book published later in the year. Clarecastle & Ballyea Heritage & Wildlife Group, Co. Clare Historian Skills with Tomás Mac Conmara - over 4 weeks - interesting and enjoyable but found the sessions a bit too long on Zoom (Eric) Facebook/Instagram training with Hassan. – interesting, but a bit too much on the theory and workings of the two media. A practical user workshop would be of benefit especially to hear from people in the iCAN community who make great use of ocial media - (Eric) Trinkets or Treasure by Gillian O'Brien - interesting talk and I have followed up with a few items directly with Gillian (Eric & Catherine) Through my involvement with Clare Roots Society, I arranged for Jane Halloran Ryan, Chairperson of CRS, to give a talk on Genealogy to the iCAN Group. We have engaged with Hassan on how to upload an Illustrated Timeline for the Clarecastle & Ballyea Parish over the past 12,000 years overlaid on a live map.
