Bi-Centenary Celebrations:

On Sunday last a large crowd turned up to the Bi-Centenary mass at St Mary’s Church. Following the ecumenical service, concelebrated by Bishop Liam Mc Daid, everybody was treated to an excellent meal, and local entertainment in the Complex. We congratulate Fr Mc Cluskey and Fr Tom Coffey, the Pastoral Committee and all those involved on an enjoyable community and family occasion.

Next Monday night will again see spot prizes galore on offer as we count down the days to Christmas; I am reliably informed that a man dressed in festive gear will be there to give a small surprise to both young and old. The mini jackpot on the night will be €700 on 45 calls and the Big Jackpot is approaching €12,000 on 45 calls. Another night not to be missed!!!

The club’s Christmas party will take place on Saturday 18^th December, in the club lounge, which will also feature the local launch of Conor Mc Morrow’s recent publication ‘Dáil Stars’.

Proceedings throw in @ 9:30 and include light refreshments, DJ, and a hamper for the lucky winner of our Christmas Draw. A good night’s entertainment will be guaranteed with your support.
