Lough Pizza Night

Last Saturday the 30th of January there was a county meeting for  Lee Valley Ventures in the Lough Scout Hall. Most of the Venture troops were represented in some way but alas Togher  never came and joined in on the fun. There was one escapee, Daniel McAuliffe, who departed early due to other plans, and that left us without any Ballincollig people. But really ,who would miss them ? *joke*.                 

What did we accomplish? Well we did find out that the Ventures around   Cork love to do things (especially water fights) but hate to plan things.  A list was made of all the possible activities which included “Commando Course” [ Ballinora’s Trademark], a Survival Weekend, a “Mini-Ventact” just for Lee Valley. These were just some of the ideas, and hopefully, at least some of them will come to fruition over the coming year!
We met the County Commissioner for Ventures, Alison who ran the meeting, and provided pizza!
Not a huge amount was decided upon, but an election was held, and Jake Murphy (S.S.P.P.), Máire Fitzgerald (Ballinora) and Eoghan Calnan (Lough) were elected as County Reps. We wish them all luck on their all expenses paid trips.
