I hope you are well. Recently we held 2 competitions for members – Design a Christmas Card and a Staycation Quiz. Thanks to the members that entered these competitions.
The winner of the Christmas Card competition is Eilís Costelloe and her card is being printed and will be sent to each RTA member in our region for Christmas. Well done Eilís and we look forward to receiving your designed Christmas card in the post. There is no prize for this competition but the honour of having your card selected, printed and sent to the members.


I took the photos during the summer and devised the Staycation Quiz as a bit of fun but also as a challenge so some of the photos may not have been too obvious. The winner of this competition is our esteemed secretary, Marian, who got all the answers correct.  Marian will receive a €50 book token. Well done Marian.


The correct answers are:

  1. Ardmore 
  2. Boyne Viaduct
  3. St.Fiacre’s Garden (Japanese Gardens)
  4. Heywood Gardens
  5. Dunbrody Abbey
  6. Baltimore Beacon
  7. Malahide Castle
  8. Mellifont Abbey
  9. Garnish Island
  10. Gougane Barra
  11. Helvick
  12. Bantry House

Wishing you all the best for now.
