Statement of John Edwards Regarding the Nomination, Rejection, and Nomination of Aidan Halpin for the 2024 Softball Leinster Committee The last time we were here, a motion of “no confidence” was submitted, and voted on, which resulted in the rejection of Aidan Halpin’s nomination for committee chair. The reasons for this motion were ridiculous: because
When a nice little bike ends up available to you, that you can save from the skip, you don’t ask too many questions. As the saying goes, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” It needed a bit of work, but I had the tools, ability, and time — a perfect match! The guy
I barely get my head wet on the rare occasion I go swimming. What in the hell am I gonna do with a 1000m dive watch, when I rarely exceed 1m? I do love myself a good homage, and the Addiesdive MY-H6, an homage to the Halios “Puck”, is one of the best out there.

The local Dublin softball league starts in just a few days from now. Do you think the league’s schedule would be published? How about publishing the byelaws, with rule changes for the upcoming season?
