    Ennis Cathedral

    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 221 – MARCH 2013 EDITORIAL Well done to the contributors and producers of the latest “Battlefleet”. I’m still taking it all in. Thanks to David Manley and Steve Blease for this link. http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/25011.html Failure cannot happen in your life without your permission! These wise and deep words come from Jeff Chorney. I immediately had a mental list of the top five Admirals that could have had these words on a plaque in their sea cabins. Thanks to Simon for this link. China’s new stealth frigate. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-21590331 New Member Tim Moore supplies these words: “In the past I've run lots of Napoleonic and similar games using a slightly cut down version of FLoB that lets us play Trafalgar in a 4 hour club night with 8 to 10 players. FLoB is a simple rule set to start with but if you are going to play with 8 players each with a squadron of 6 ship- of-the-line you need to get through the turns rapidly. I have designed a couple of play aids and a suitable play sheet. The proof is in the outcomes. People even enjoy the Nile or Copenhagen”. “I have run quite a few map based WW2 games including carrier actions and other search based games. They went down well. I still have some of that stuff 20 plus years later”. Sounds good, if only I could think of what FLob is the abbreviation for.
