Summertime...
Dear Parishioners,

Carry Centre The Social-Fundraiser on May 23rd is sure to be a highlight of the year. More details on page 15. Query As we come to the end of the 3rd Volume of The Obelisk, I would be keen to hear from you, the Readers, of what things you like to see appear in the magazine. Have you got suggestions of what we might include in Volume 4? Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Golf Outing Due to unforeseen circumstances the date for the Golf Outing has been changedI draw you attention to the new details on page 20. Patronal Festival We celebrate our Patronal Festival every year on Trinity Sunday. This year it will happen on Sunday June 15th. I have invited the Very Revd Kenny Hall to be the guest preacher at 10.45am. Dean Hall is Rector of Enniskillen and Dean of Clogher. During his tenure as Dean he has welcomed Queen Elizabeth to the Cathedral and in an historic move accompanied her to the neighbouring Roman Catholic Cathedral. After the service we will have our annual parish lunchmore details on page 18. Final thoughts As we enter into the Summer season, I hope and pray you all find time for rest and refreshment in, what I hope will be, another great Summer! With all good wishes,

The Obelisk

Sports Spot My Sporting Life I was born with sport in my blood! I have a newspaper photograph of my parents wedding with the caption Two Tennis Stars Wed and they were good at other sports also, so it was always in the family as I was growing up. My first real love was Hockey which I played at Wesley College and later for Pembroke Wanderers. At school I also liked Swimming and can still remember the excitement of the annual Gala! After I was married I played Squash (in what is now Westwood), which is a great quick game for when one has small children because it is possible to have a good exercise session and yet only be away from home for little more than an hour. Next came Table Tennis and my introduction to the Carry Hall where, week after week there was fun and laughter plus of course serious matches! I was match secretary of the United Churches Table Tennis League for a few years, a job I really enjoyed because I could see who beat who throughout the Parishes! I also dabbled a little in Holy Trinitys morning Badminton but did not have time to play regularly. Despite my parents coaxing I did not play tennis seriously until I was in my late twenties when I joined De Vesci Tennis Club and was immediately hooked, playing in all the different League matches throughout each year. I served on committee there for many years and had the honour of being Lady Captain and President of the Club. Like so many people Golf seems to follow Tennis and that was my next step, although I played both for ten years. I joined Carrickmines Golf Club 21 years ago and just loved the game straight away even though it was slower and I was hitting a stationary ball, when anything else I had ever hit was moving! Again I served on various committees in the Club, was Secretary of the Ladies Section for three years and was honoured to be Lady Captain in 2009. I would strongly recommend that all able young people participate in at least one or two different sports particularly team ones, as there is nothing quite so exhilarating as the unique thrill of sharing a win with other team members and through that they also learn the lesson of commitment, which stands to them throughout life. Sport is a truly great relief for all kinds of stress and tensions and friendships made through it can be very strong and supportive, often lasting a lifetime. Some of my influence passed on to both our children because our daughter reached a much more senior level at Hockey than I ever did and our son, who is a single handicap golfer, is now taking part in Triathlons. I have taken my granddaughter swimming regularly since she was nine months old and now, at almost six years of age, she is learning tennis and wants me to play with her! How I would love to do a Theand Obelisk U8 -turn start all over again in reverse if only!! Helen Irwin

From the Tower Tea Rooms... My name is Jennifer and I manage the Tower Tea Rooms located in the original gate lodge to Victoria Park (just off Killiney Hill Road). Ive lived in Killiney for the past 20 years with my husband, Jonathan, who is also in the catering business. We met over 30 years ago when we both worked in Fitzpatricks Castle Hotel. We have 3 children (twin girls and 1 boy (who is currently studying hard for the Leaving Certificate!)). People often say to me what a wonderful place to work and I have to agree I do enjoy working on the Hill. The most magical time is early in the morning before you open and all you can hear are the birds singing as the morning light comes streaming through the windows. The moment you open the shutters its all systems go. From the early jogger popping in for a quick takeaway coffee at the end of their run to the regulars who pop in for a slow cappuccino, a slice of lemon zest cake and a chat of course! I get to meet some really great people and we have built up a great customer base over the last year and a half whilst we have been in operation. Myself and the team (Cloe, Stephen and Greg) have become acquainted with all our customers and, of course, the dogs who we love to spoil with our doggie treats. Customers say its a great asset to the community, being able to walk the dog and then stop on the way for a coffee or a bowl of soup and a sandwich. So if you havent been in yet, pop in and say hello!

Pack your bag to Australia We flew to Sydney in early January to visit our son, Geoff, his wife Sarah and boys Harry (6) and Jamie (4). They live in Allambie on Sydney's north shore a forty minute drive from the airport crossing the iconic Harbour Bridge. After a joyful reunion we sat on their deck under a cloudless sky shaded by a gum tree, listening to the cockatoos, lorikeets and the occasional kookaburra.. There were also water dragons taking the sun on the bank by a nearly stream. The local swimming beaches are Curl Curl and Freshwater where we swam with the boys nearly every day during our holiday. There was also some tasks to be undertaken, such as laying a path and recladding a car port. The vegetable garden was also tackled once we had assurances that there were no snakes, the spiders were friendly and the geckos (small lizards) are great at eating slugs. We celebrated Australia Day on 20th January by joining in a flotilla of boats sailing from Manly past Shark Island and Fort Denison to Darling Harbour. By the bridge there were two tug boats turning quite magically as if dancing to the tune of Waltzing Matilda being played by a band on Circular Quay. Later that day we took refreshments at the Rocks, an historical part of Sydney. At weekends there was dinghy sailing at the Balmoral Sailing Club near Mosman. Geoff and Sarah raced their dinghy aptly named ESCAPEE. I joined the crew of the rescue boat in mark laying and assisting whenever necessary. We returned home with wonderful memories of friendly people, sunny days, awesome surf beaches and barbeques. Alan and Yvonne Gill
