Despite sub-zero temperatures, just over 50 members and friends made their way- some on foot-to Dooley's Hotel where they received a warm welcome.
Mulled wine and non-alcoholic beverages were available on arrival.
The guest of Honour was Her Worship The Mayor of Waterford, Cllr. Mary Roche. She was presented with a copy of the latest edition of Decies, the journal of the society.
One has to admire those who came from the county, in particular our guest speaker, Julian Walton. Julian spoke about the hazards of the local history lecture, based on personal experience, both as lecturer and audience. A lesson to be learned: always be prepared for the unexpected, never rely on technology, always have a plan B!
