This week more patches arrived for Shane to add to his ever growing collection. He wants to say a BIG THANKS to Bryan Turner for sending over the old Shell Oil Rigs cap and patch, to Fred Gregory and Mick O’Brien in Tara St who passed patches, etc, to me when I passed through, and to (I think) Nicko Farrell who sent a bundle of them through the internal post for Shane’s wall. To Keith Doré for patches from the US and also Chief Steve Elliott for patches from Virginia USA back in October
From Ireland Many Thanks to Rory Kelly, Brendan Daly, Alistair Carmichael, Mike Ryan & Liam Dyer who sent patches from Longford, Offaly, Belfast City Airport, Sligo and Bantry.
