Jump To Comment: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Our blog was emailed a few pics from the CABHAIR Swim in Wexford , but only the following one was deemed suitable for publication - the rest of the pics showed the five lads in various stages of dress and distress as it finally dawned on them that 'the beach' was not , alas , the new nickname for the local , heated, swimming pool....... ;-) ! Also - our 'non-swimmer' in Dublin spent the last four days contacting those who had sponsored him , and offered them their money back (Declan was unable to fulfill his side of the bargain , for health reasons) : not one person asked for the few bob to be returned to them , asking, instead, for it to be donated to Cabhair ! Much appreciated , folks - grma ! Thanks, Sharon.
CABHAIR Swim , Wexford - 25/12/2011 . Five swimmers seek shelter behind a banner.....!
Hi M. Brody ! Thanks for your comment - appreciated ! And it gives me the chance to 'butt' in and add that each of the five swimmers in Dublin was presented with a hankie from the prisoners in Portlaoise , and a raffle for a bodhrón was held between the swimmers after they had earned their money - the winner was Dougie , one of the regular swimmers for CABHAIR. Thanks again , Sharon.
Well done to the swimmers in Dublin, (and Wexford Armagh) as well as the organisers for the swims for Republican prisoners/cabhair
.....prisoners. As stated in the piece. Thanks anyway ! Sharon.
prisoners?
Hi ! The 35th consecutive CABHAIR Christmas Swim was held , as planned, yesterday in Inchicore , Dublin - on what was , compared to last year , a fine Summer's day ! Five sponsored swimmers took to the water (with 3 doing the same in Craigavon Lake and 5 in Wexford) , with one early 'casualty' who wasn't allowed by the Organisers to take part , for possible health reasons. Also , Santa was in great form , despite a twenty-five minute delay forced on him by armed State thugs , and a man with a guitar entertained the crowd in competition with twin-speakers blasting out Irish Rebel songs : in between all of which money was raised for Republican prisoners..... More at the 'Related Link' below , including a few pics and a link to three 'Swim' videos and over eighty additional pics ! Thanks , Sharon.
All won Gold , but wrapped themselves in 'Silver' !
Santa was 'delayed' , but eventually 'hip-hopped' his way to the Swim....
Hi ! Two swimmers have been confirmed for the CABHAIR, Swim in Craigavon , unless any are still in there from last year...... Thanks, Sharon.
Hi !
The CABHAIR Christmas Day Swim in County Wexford will see six swimmers take to the water at Rosslare Strand at 11am , with the County Armagh Swim going ahead at 12 Noon in Craigavon Lake - proof positive that it's not only we Dubs that are crazy.....!
Thanks,
Sharon.
Hi !
Six swimmers have now been confirmed for the Inchicore Swim , and CABHAIR have also organised Christmas Day swims in Wexford and Armagh : details to follow.
Thanks!
Sharon.
" I'd much rather be in Wexford. Or Armagh.....! "
Hi !
CABHAIR have confirmed five (heavily-sponsored!) swimmers , so far , with another two 'probables' and one 'possible' : also confirmed is the arrival of 'Santa' , mince pies , swans in 'attack mode' and evil elves 'guarding' the gateway !
It's looking like this year's Swim will be as successful as the thirty-four that have gone before it , and all in aid of thirty-two..... ;-)
I'll post more updates here re the Swim as soon as I get same.
Thanks,
Sharon.
