We had a most successful evening at our 'A Taste of Norman Wexford' in Browne's of Gorey on Tuesday night. The location, the ambience, the food and those in attendance all added to a wonderful evening.
The stars of the show were the food produced by William Millar, head chef with Amber Springs Hotel & Spa Resort and the Signature Cocktail ‘Marshal’s Choice’ inspired by the ‘Year of the Normans’ (more anon).
Huge thanks to all who attended and made it such a fun occasion. ......and it couldn’t have been done without the help of Siofra from Browne’s in Gorey and Grainne from Elderberry Farm Produce.
Thanks also to:
Brownes in Gorey – a fantastic location. The staff were terrific and pulled out all the stops to make us all welcome.

Our July talk was given by Dr Patrick Wadden on the Prelude to Invasion? The Normans and Ireland before 1169. Held in the historic St. Edan's Cathedral in Ferns, the talk was most engaging, inciteful and entertaining.
