Ladies Of Harley History
R.I.P. Tracey Semple
Dublin invasion : Newsflash – from our Dublin correspondent
Following the invasion of Dublin by thousands of tourists and stag parties in recent years, the fair city faced a new threat on Saturday 19 April when it was invaded by a previously unknown horde of revellers.
The group were described by anxious onlookers as a party of rufty-tufty Harley owners. They seemed determined to visit as many hostelries as possible within a limited time period or, in the case of their female companions, the Grafton Street shops.
The leader was identified as a woman called Tracey or, as some people referred to her, trolley dolly.
The good-time group travelled to Dublin by coach, with pick-ups in Antrim, Belfast and Lisburn, and arrived in the Irish capital around 11.30am. The journey was without incident apart from one traveller having a mini nervous breakdown when her bank card was swallowed by a cash machine at Central Station.
On arrival, the group split up into smaller factions,with some (the female contingent) opting to beat their credit cards into submission and others, led by hollow legs Sam Semple, aiming to drink Dublin dry.
Fortunately, no-one missed the coach for the return journey which featured such delights as Tracey’s travelling tombola, singalongaJean and JP modelling his latest purchase.
It was a tired but happy crowd who arrived back in Northern Ireland that night.
Seriously folks, more than 30 Provincewide members and friends enjoyed the trip and raised £112 for charity.
Thanks to all who supported the Ladies of Harley bus trip. It couldn’t have happened without you. I’m still getting my voice back (although some – like Sam Semple – would say that’s not a bad thing!)

Mamma Mia, 15 March 2008
For the Ladies of Harley, fun is really ‘the name of the game’
Saturday 15 March saw the magnificent seven Ladies of Harley arrive at the Odyssey for the feel-good musical, ‘Mamma Mia’. Reports are that they tripped the light fantastic so well that they should now be known as the dancing queens!
Here’s to the disco divas:
Helen
Hilda
Carol Anne
Alexis
Doreen
Liz
Sue
They super-troupered around the Odyssey in some style. They ‘took a chance on me’ going to see this musical and had the time of their lives.
Europa get-together
Our get-together in the Europa on Sunday was a great success. Thanks to all of you who turned up. In total we had 10 members. We had a very productive meeting – the craic was great, we got to know lots more about each other and came up with lots of great ideas for the coming year. A variety of events offering something for everyone (drink, men, music, food – and just for Sue, posing pouches!) – is on the agenda.
