hello all friends

a group of people here in arklow have formed a committee 'friends of the
rowers' to fundraise for eamonn & peter.
a night with good music, dance and plenty of prizes have been arranged for
the 17th january in the Arklow Bay Hotel, admission #5.
members of this committee include the boys' sisters, local councillors,
traders & people like myself from the sailing club and other clubs.
anyone wishing to pledge their support or simply to send greetings to be
presented to eamonn & peter on their return, can do so by mailing this
address.
thank you for supporting our lads.
