THE SHAMROCK
The shamrock, which was also called the "seamroy" by the Celts, was a sacred plant in ancient Ireland because it symbolized the rebirth of spring. By the seventeenth century, the shamrock had become a symbol of emerging Irish nationalism. As the English began to seize Irish land and make laws against the use of the Irish language and the practice of Catholicism, many Irish began to wear the shamrock as a symbol of their pride in their heritage and their displeasure with English rule.
Reminder:

IRISH SAYINGS
May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go,
and guide you in whatever you do and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always
I drink to your health when I'm with you,
I drink to your health when I'm alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I'm starting to worry about my own.
QUESTION OF THE MONTH
The question of the month for a pint is………Who made this statement?
“The course of life and labour reminds me of a long journey I once took on the railway. Suddenly, there was a breakdown ahead, and passengers took the event in various ways. Some of them sat still resignedly, and never said a word. Others again, went to sleep. But some of us leaped out of that train, and ran on ahead to clear the road of all obstructions.”
Many, many members have won the free Pit beef and Shot of Potcheen, but you have to come to the Festival to collect
HISTORIAN
