Update Tues 18Feb2025. Emails have been sent out to special families, committeeand general members. Watch you inbox (and spam) very closely from now on. The waiting is over and don’t forget to book ASAP

An email letter will be sent out to all but first to special families and committee. It will be important to act on the details in the letter as soon as it is received. Good luck to everyone and thanks for your patience.

SOFT will have have a Family Outing on Sat/Sun 22/23 March 2025 and we are working on it right now. It will take time and effort to finalise it but we are getting there. We can give you a specific date of 22/23 March. We know you’ve missed the last few get togethers so we would be delighted to see you all on this occasion if we get our act together but we are progressing well and it is too early to announce anything yet. The Family Outing did not take place last year and people were disappointed so hopefully this year will be different.

The Tribute Book, SOFT Newsletter Archive Book, Why Our Baby Book, Pre Natal Leaflet and our last Newsletter will be on Display.  The usual Family tree with names will not make it this year but we have another tree idea. This will a get together to catch up and will be less formal than Autumn Break. We will have a room available on Sat night and Sun morning for activities etc. Maybe a Slideshow on Sat night to follow soon! We won’t have a family table quiz for Saturday night  and give it a miss for once. A Remembrance and Living Ceremony on Sunday Morning with reading of Poems. Memento of terracotta flowerpots & saucers with begonia bulbs for some which can be painted with names of special children will not be available this year..  Children’s Art by children painting various SOFT themes sketches. Special SOFT Cake by TM will  down well with refreshments for a special birthday. This event will an opportunity for catching up with people in person, for a recharge and avail of a very competitive offer. Meet on Saturday evening and on Sunday morning.

Members will be emailed in due course with specific details but this is a Heads Up of what to expect. All of the above may or may not happen but maybe expect more! Is there something missing above like County Tipperary. I can’t see it. Watch this space for more.
