Portadown Rotary Club


So, after my trip to Derry, I took a bus to Belfast, then a train to the town of Portadown. I went to dinner with this club back in September at the District Conference. They were the ones that had the 4 hour dinner followed by poems and stories for another hour. Needless to say, they are great fun. The President, Vice-Pres, and the Treasurer of the club are women, so unlike the Carlow Club, I felt much more at home. What was also different about this club, since it is in the North, was they toasted to the Queen at the beginning of the meal. Obviously not something that is done in the Republic, but still very interesting. The visit went great, then Angela, the President took me around the town and told me a bit about it's history. I then got on the train back to Dublin and completed my weekend journey. It was quite a trip, and I was exhausted, but what a great adventure.
