BLARNEYSTONE STARTS
SHUTTLE
Residents of Apsley will
be happy to know that twice a night, twice per week, the "Shamrock
Shuttle" now runs return trips from Aps1ey to the new Woodview Irish pub.
Pick-up times for anybody
wishing to come out for darts, dinner or just to watch some hockey on
either Wednesday or Saturday night, will be 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., with
trips returning to the centre of town at 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on each
night.
"Now I can have that
extra glass of wine with dinner and not worry about being stopped by the
police!" says Brian Ashton, 45, of Chandos Lake.
The Blarney Stone is
still looking for 2-4 more players to fill up its 4 team House League of
Darts on Wednesday nights. No professionals here, but lots of fun and new
single players are divided up amongst the teams every weeknight.
If you would like a free
round trip to the Blarney Stone on Wed. or Sat. night,
call the pub at (705) 654-3865 for a pick up or just watch for the
flashing light green outside the IGA at 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. twice a
week.
Have a safe winter and
don't drink and drive.

moved to Roy Brown's Garage and put in a stock of goods in the garage
section. The foundation timber, from the nearby woods, was sawn at Mc
Coll’s Mill nearby. Neighbours from all over the county came to help
rebuild so that on the 14th of October of the same year, the Browns moved
into the store.
