PROVINCIAL WEEKEND, ESCRICK near YORK

The Parsonage Hotel in Escick village a few miles south of York was a delightful location for a wonderful weekend organised expertly by Provincial President Terence and Sandra Donnelly.  We were even blessed by good weather.  The staff were very attentive, the food excellent and company of over 100 brothers and ladies was most convivial.

The activities undertaken on the Saturday were varied.  Some went cycling:

Outside the Crown pub

some went on a 6 mile walk organised by Adrian and Susan Crook:

There's always one!!  

Others went into York by bus from outside the hotel, but some fell by the wayside at the Designer Outlet!  Some of the things done by those who stayed on to the terminus were visiting the Van Gogh Experience, National Railway Museum and shopping.   

The Gala Dinner on the Saturday night was most enjoyable:

The entertainment after the meal was provided by Rhythmic Sounds DJ and the highlight was the performance by The Dancing Queens. 

The weekend was rounded off with Sunday Mass celebrated by Canon Michael Ryan, a local retired priest who said he only had one set of vestments - WHITE ones.  They were most appropriate as the gospel was that of the Transfiguration and which county were we in!

Thank you Terence & Sandra.
