Margaret Bentley
It is withgreat sadnessthat we acknowledge the passing of our good friend Margaret Bentley on 12/3/24. Margaret the wife of Col has been one of our custodian cooks for the Saturday golf games for a number of years. After spending many hours and cooking a lot of sausages, Margaret decided to hang up the tongs in December 2023, so that she could spend more time with her grandchildren. Unfortunately, she was recently diagnosed with cancer and passed away after a short period of time. She will be greatly missed by all the golfers and we send our love and condolences to Col and his family during this sad time.

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY FOR LAST SUNDAY
Thought we were due for a bit of Irish humour
Murphy and his wife, a middle-aged couple, went for a stroll in the park. They say down on a bench to rest. They overheard voices coming from a secluded spot. Suddenly Mrs. Murphy realized that a young man was about to propose.
Not wanting to eavesdrop at such an intimate moment, she nudged her husband and whispered, “Whistle and let that young couple know that someone can hear them.”
Murphy said, “Whistle? Why should I whistle? Nobody whistled to warn me.”

Mrs. Dugan and Mrs. Riley were talking one day about Mr. Riley and his constant drinking. Mrs. Dugan said, “I have an idea about how to stop him from spending so much time at the pub. Every night he comes home through the cemetery. One night you should get disguised and spook him when he comes staggering through.”
So Mrs. Riley waited in the cemetery one night until she heard her husband coming. She jumped up and a startled Riley said, “Who are you??”
Mrs. Riley replied, “I am the devil!”
With that, Riley shook her hand and said, “Glad to meet ya, I’m married to your sister.”

A group of Americans was touring Ireland.
One of the women in the group was a real curmudgeon, constantly complaining.
The bus seats are uncomfortable. The food is terrible.
It’s too hot. It’s too cold. The accommodations are awful.
The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone.
“Good luck will be followin’ ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone,”the guide said.
“Unfortunately, it’s being cleaned today and so no one will be able to kiss it.
Perhaps we can come back tomorrow.”
“We can’t be here tomorrow,” the nasty woman shouted.
“We have some other boring tour to go on.
So I guess we can’t kiss the stupid stone.”
“Well now,” the guide said, “it is said that if you kiss someone who has kissed the stone, you’ll have the same good fortune.”
“And I suppose you’ve kissed the stone,” the woman scoffed.
“No, ma’am,” the frustrated guide said, “but I’ve sat on it.”
