Limavady November 2025

Remembrance Weekend 7th – 9th November.

Hosts David and Dawn Caskey and Co Hosts Stephen and Mary Glenn welcomed 28 vans to Limavady High School for a special weekend. Friday evening saw the usual catch up in the hall followed by Bingo, ably hosted by David and Stephen. Victor and Eleanor scored a double victory in a fast - paced game! Think David had taken instruction from our very own “Hurricane Hutchison”. 

     Saturday morning was a busy one with Audrey displaying the new club merchandise and taking orders for Christmas, David sharing his metal detection finds and Jacqueline patiently teaching the process of Diamond Art. There was great interest in the metal detection finds which ranged from a coin from the 1400 ‘s through musket shells, buckles and other items to modern jewellery. Diamond Art bookmarks were completed and Jacqueline sold some of her own diamond creations in aid of the Chairmans Charity raising £45. We were delighted to be joined by Agnes Adair.

     The afternoon saw many wander round the varied independent shops in Limavady and sample some local food and drink. On Saturday evening many booked their place with Jacqueline for the Dinner Dance in the Ross Park Hotel in January and bought ballot tickets. Niall McHenry entertained us for the evening with a great selection of music. 

     Coffee morning on Sunday was hosted by Selma in the absence of the chairman. She thanked the hosts and co hosts for an enjoyable weekend, especially mentioning David and Dawn for whom it was their first time hosting. Number plate draws were won by Nelson and Joycelyn Stewart and Ernie and Sue Corry. 

     Next rally is Magheramorne Blue Circle Club from 3pm. Dancing on both nights and trains to Larne / Belfast from the local stop. Some members stayed in the town to attend the Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph. Caryn Brown
