Canon Black, for allowing MU the use of these magnificent facilities. We must also thank the students, members of staff and the catering department for all their help and assistance during the day. All helped to make this meeting a very happy and successful event. Proceedings commenced with Holy Communion and again thanks to Dean Lynas, the Revds. A. Wallace and N. Gillespie for this inspiration start to the day. Our Diocesan President, Joan, was back from her travels looking very tanned and relaxed and led the day in a very efficient and determined way!

Not everything can be mentioned here but below are some of what was discussed: STATISTICS The following refer to our own Diocese of Cashel & Ossory as at September 2002 Number

Dean
Barrett enjoyed his trip to Helsingborg during the last few weeks. He
was given the usual warm Swedish welcome. He also visited Lund and was
most impressed by the full equipped and beautifully appointed Diocesan
Office. Hi there! Well we do hope that you all had great Christmas (goodluck with the new diet!) : We at LCIYC had an eventful Christmas. On 9November, we had a brilliant Harvest Ball. The food was good, the music was excellent and the atmosphere was first-class. Over 300 people had a sit-down meal and over 100 attended the 'afters'. Congratulations to all who won raffle prizes and we hope that fun was had by all. : On 23November, we, in conjunction with Clonenagh Youth Club, held a Unihoc night. This was well-attended and feed-back was positive. We hope to organise more events such as this in the future. : Our annual carol service was held on 14December in Ballinakill Church. The music and worship were lively. Many thanks to Dermot and his band, to Rev. Philip and to all who were involved with reading, collecting etc… : At time of going to press, our Junior Disco in Mountrath has not been held. It does promise to be a great night. Watch this space! : On 29December, we will hold a day-trip to Dublin. This will entail ice-skating in Smithfield, shopping in Blanchardstown and the cinema. We hope that there will be a lot of interest for this event. Ages 12+ : Our annual New Years Eve disco will be held in the Gandon Hotel on……..New Years Eve! It will be for the over 18s only. So please come along and have a great time. The music promises to be great and it'll be the perfect opportunity to ring in the New Year 2003. : Well I'm afraid that's all the news from us here at LCIYC. 9 Hope that you all had a great Christmas and we wish you an equally brilliant New Year.
